Wrong. The sun is much closer to the earth than 93 million miles. It is more of a spotlight than an earth encompassing light, and therefore you can have darkness in some places and light in others.

The sun and moon are basically the same size and distance from earth, probably 30 miles up or something.
:whoa:

Don't be giving wrong facts. That just damages the credibility even tho your somewhat right.

The sun and moon are about 3,000 miles high.

Here's one big reason. The horizon rises up to the camera and remains flat. Absolutely Impossible on a sphere.

I'm not really sure what you're this sentence is supposed to mean.

Still, we'd be able to see far more of the earth if it were flat, but we can't because it curves and we see space instead. But as the object above earth moves east or west we see that more of the earth is visible.

It doesn't curve breh

There is no curvature observed anywhere on earth. Water doesn't curve breh

Not to be long winded watch this

What's funny about that? You've never seen the curvature from a plane either. Never in your life.
If the earth were flat, you couldn't fly around or sail the globe, both have been done. If the earth were flat, then once you hit the end, that's the edge of the earth.

My point is very well illustrated by that video. At 4:15 we see the earth's horizon line. Now as the camera moves east or west more of the earth is visible instead of just clouds and other atmospherical objects, why?

Because the earth is round otherwise we'd see more earth going on for probably as long as the eye could see, but we don't because the earth curves.

What do you mean 'water doesn't curve'? What are the implications of 'water doesn't curve'? Why is that significant?

What does the earth spinning have to do with gravity?

How is gravity not measurable?

Lol it's never been measured by anyone. That's because it's not real.

Do you feel a force pushing down on your arm when you lift it? You might get tired holding it up, but there's no force pushing it down.

Why does gravity keep the billions of gallons of water stuck to the earth but a feather can float with no problem?

They say the tides change because of the moons gravity. This is BS because the moon is like 1/8 the size of the supposed ball earth, and therefore it would not be pulling anything away from earth that was on earth. Also, why doesn't this same moon gravity affect lakes and ponds and rivers this same way.

It's because gravity is BS.

30 miles. Sun spots on the top of clouds and sun rays coming out of the same cloud at different angles prove this.
cruising altitude in a plane in 30k ft, which is about 6 miles, so in a plane you're only 24 miles from the sun? :lupe:

Gravity has been measured. It's an force that arises because of the constant acceleration of of 9.8m/s^2. Force = mass * acceleration. Anything with mass experiences the force of gravity.

Gravity pulls you down it doesn't push down. The force is constant so you don't feel it in the same sense as someone pushing you because the force is there *all the time*. You get tired holding your arm up because you have to use energy to keep your arm up against the force of gravity.

Gravity keeps billions of gallons of water on the earth because it's massive.

A feather can float because although it's pulled down by gravity it is also in a fluid, with oxygen and other gases which also exert a force on the feather, but still the feather will eventually come to the ground, unless there's some wind to keep it up.

Lastly, I don't believe the tides change because of the moon's gravity.
