This is a stupid thread.
The heavens (i.e. the "universe") are in motion, and they rotate around the stationary, flat plane of the earth once every 24 hours.
This is NOT in dispute.
What the heavens do NOT do is travel at a speed of 24 million MPH, and a distance of 584 million miles in that circuit every 24 hours. This is because the sun is NOT 93 million miles away.
How do we know this is true?
Simple.
You can take any two points on the flat plane of the earth, and calculate the known distance between the two points, either by car, or by air in nautical miles.
For example, it is 400 nm from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The difference between moonrise and sunrise times between LA and PHX is 30 minutes. In order to travel 400 miles in 30 minutes, the sun and moon have to be travelling at approximately 800 MPH.
The "throw" of the sun's light is a cone shape, and is slightly larger than the circular path the sun itself as an object travels in its circuit above earth. This is why you have light for about a half hour before you see the sun "rise" and why you still have light for about a half hour after you can no longer see the sun after it has "set."
Knowing the time and distance from viewpoint to viewpoint of rise and calculating the speed also gives you the size (in circuмference) of the sun's circuit, about 25,000 miles. While the total landmass circuмference of the reach of the cone of light extends to roughly a 72,000 mile circuмference, which corresponds exactly to the 69,000 mile circuмference reported by Captain James Cook Byrd in his traverse of the ice wall of Antarctica.
In 1773 Captain Cook became the first modern explorer known to have breached the Antarctic Circle and reached the ice barrier. During three voyages, lasting three years and eight days, Captain Cook and crew sailed a total of 60,000 miles along the Antarctic coastline never once finding an inlet or path through or beyond the massive glacial wall! Captain Cook wrote: “The ice extended east 57 and west far beyond the reach of our sight, while the southern half of the horizon was illuminated by rays of light which were reflected from the ice to a considerable height. It was indeed my opinion that this ice extends quite to the pole, or perhaps joins some land to which it has been fixed since creation.”
