Its because at a certain distance away from the sun, your angle with respect to the sun and the ground is so acute that the ground literally obstructs the sun and sunlight from your view
So you literally didnt read my post at all huh smh
so its just cosmic coincidence that we never see any other planet on its side/edge?
The all rotate at the same rate as earth?
See how yall just make up stuff and try to argue against your own strawman?Dude you’re literally providing the answer to your question and disproving a flat earth and why time zones exist
The reason it can be dark in New York and still daylight in California during a live football game is because the Earth is a sphere. As the Earth rotates, different parts face the sun, giving us day and night at different times. The Earth rotates once every 24 hours. As it spins, only one half of the Earth faces the sun at any given moment, so that half experiences daytime, while the other half is in darkness (night - like how it’s currently 11:29 PM in Beijing and 12:29 AM in Tokyo). When you’re watching the game from the West Coast and it’s still daylight, you’ll notice that the sun is beginning to set if it’s a late game (7PM LA time) but by 10 PM when the game is done, it’s dark out.
There’s 24 hours in a day, it takes 3 hours for the sun to reach its angle in the sky on the west coast (now 10 PM on the west) that already happened 3 hours earlier on the East Coast. Since the Earth is round and rotating from west to east, the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. This is why we have time zones.
Now, on a flat Earth, the sun would have to hover and spotlight only certain areas at a time for time zones to make any sense. But that doesn’t line up to reality because:
1. We’d see the sun from everywhere on Earth at once, it wouldn’t ‘set’ below the horizon. Go and watch a sunset for this effect. Even better at a beach.
2. The sun would have to shrink or fade out—not dip bottom-first below the horizon like it clearly does. You see this very clearly watching the sunset.
3. There’d be no clean dividing line between night and day, like we can see clearly see from high-altitude flights.
But I get the idea this will mean nothing to you and you’ll believe what you want
Thank you very much for at least making a legitimate attempt at understanding my POV even if you disagreeyou just as dumb or can't read
his question was clear
Flat Earthers commonly respond to the time zone question by proposing that the sun acts like a "local light" moving in a circular path above the flat Earth, similar to a spotlight or flashlight. According to this model, the sun only illuminates a specific area of the flat disk at any given time, creating regions of daylight and darkness, and thus, time zones. As the sun moves, different parts of the Earth experience sunrise, noon, and sunset at different times, which they claim accounts for the observed time zones.
I 'm not a flat earther
You said this like your post made any sense
. You claim they aren't rotating.I don't think vaccines are harmful. I'm pretty much fully vaccinated. My kids will be too. I do think there should be long testing periods for newer vaccines thoughCiv, the problem with Flat Earth (and other conspiracy theories) is that they are gateway drugs to anti-intellectualism, which is harmful to society at large.
For example, someone who believes "the governments of the world are lying about the shape of the Earth" also likely thinks vaccines are harmful.
This leads to vaccine hesitancy, which leads a parent or two (or a hundred) to not vaccinate their child against measles, for example.
Now, tell me what we are currently seeing with measles, a dangerous disease that CAN kill you?
As you can see, there is a tangible effect to believing in conspiracy theories. Wiz is a celebrity, and as stupid as it is, people trust celebrities and use them to validate and color their own opinions.
You people don't exist in a vacuum.
You literally just answered your own questionYou said this like your post made any sense
Even if nothing is rotating, how does explain them all facing us at the perfect angle?
Neither one of these options is correct. but nevermind breh
humans can literally build civilizations, create arts, science and the engineering of our world and we can see all the marvels of this in every corner of the earth for literal centuries but start talking about space and nikkas minds get so fukked up because the details of it are beyond them so it’s all fake to them. It’s a very uneducated and ignorant way of thinking but I grew up with a lot of uneducated ignorant nikkas so it’s not surprising I don't think the sun and moon are solid objects
This is what I mean. The first option is literally what you said you believe. Now it's not correct?
I have hundreds and hundreds of flat earth posts on here explaining why what you said is not correct. Just search my nameYou’re not even refuting it with a scientific explanation.
Just saying “nah you’re wrong” without any scientific basis like we gonna take the word of a random nikka on the Coli and override centuries of observation, math, and repeatable evidence by scientists and engineers. This isn’t about what sounds right on here nikka, this is about what’s been proven, modeled, and validated countless times through actual science.
I don’t know why nikkas get so fukked up about outer space
I never told you what i believe. But to clear i believe that all planets are spherical. ANd they they all rotate at different angles and rates of speed depending upon their distance from the sun. or the nearest star if they are in another solar system.
