If it is summer in North America, the sun's orbit is small. If it is winter, the orbit is larger. Vice versa for Australia and some places in south America . Spring and fall have the same orbit. Not as large as winter and not as small as summer

Using this model, wouldn't that make the Australia's amount of sunlight received in their summer greater than that of America's summer? Also, how would you explain 24hr sunlight in Antarctica during the southern hemisphere summer?

Also also, can you explain how the Earth's magnetosphere works in a flat earth model?

Day and night cycles can be explained by the way the sun rotates around the singular pole

Seasons happen when the sun is closer to the specific continents

This dumb ass shyt. Even your gif shows the Earth is a round sphere. :stopitslime:

And the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons, in your context.

The Western Hemisphere (North America) is actually closer to the Sun in the winter months than during the summer months.

The topic of Antarctica is plagued with misinformation by various governments. It is best to be skeptical of any of their or their scientists' claims. Hence the 24 hour sun theory is fake news.

Regarding the magnetic field , there are 2 prevailing theories.

The simpler one is that the earth's magnetic field is similar to that of a disc magnet.

This model requires two poles and for the disc to have considerable girth.

The second theory is much more interesting. It states that there is only a single pole at the centre of the disc and the magnetic field is radial. Currently, radial magnetic fields are are not possible with Maxwell's equations. Maxwell's equations state that the net magnetic flux is zero. The equation is
Integral(magnetic field . Change in area).
Radial magnetic fields will cause the change in area to be non zero.
However, string theory allows us to modify maxwell's equations so that the magnetic flux can be non zero. Therefore, magnetic monopoles and radial magnetic fields can exist.

This theory requires the disc to have very little thickness.

I explained this with diagrams showing how radius of the sun's orbit changes depending on the season.

Also the sun would cover the whole planet so we wouldn't have day in one place and night in another

Do you have prove that we do have day in one place and night in the other? Proof other than doctored video? You ever been in 2 places at 1 time? :sas2::pachaha:

Sparking blunts in the shade.
I would love to see a documentary on this topic. Not a bunch of people proving the truth, but showing how the world would be if it actually was flat. I bet there's a lot of shyt that we wouldn't even think of that would be affected.
