  • This is precisely why you need a model:




    At any given time, there is an equal area of the Earth that is experiencing daytime, and that is having a night time. The reason is that the sun is very far, and it would illuminate a hemisphere of the Earth, and leave the other dark.
    If we plot which areas of the Earth that are getting sunlight on an azimuthal equidistant map centered on the north pole, the sun would appear to illuminate a somewhat elliptical area during the northern hemisphere summer, and a lopsided Bat-Signal shaped area during the winter. During the equinox, the sun would appear to illuminate a half-circle area.

    This fact is not a problem because the azimuthal-equidistant is a map, and like any other map, it has distortions. An area of the map closer to the center represents a larger real-world area compared to the same map area farther from the center.
    On the other hand, flat-Earthers insist the azimuthal-equidistant map is the map of a flat-Earth, devoid of any distortions. And this is a problem for them. They would have to invent just another ad-hoc ‘explanations’ how the sun illuminates such an impossible area. Their ‘lamp-shade’ or the ‘spotlight’ explanations fail to explain it.”

    Apart from the fact that the pictures above are not particularly accurate (you accept them as accurate because you believe it backs your theories, and are ... as always ... just begging the question), there is a very good explanation on FE model for the larger illumination around the edges in the Winter scenario, namely that the light reflects around the firmament at the edges.  So, a major problem with your crayon drawings here is that the "24-hour sun" scenario reflected in your pictures is a fraud ... with one fraudulent video after another exposed as a hoax attempting to demonstrate this phenomenon.  Since only "approved" individual are allowed anywhere south of 60 degrees, we have no independent confirmation of that.  That "December 21" scenario is what Globalists claim is a problem for FE ... except that is has never been independently verified.  My guess would be that it's most likely a moon-shaped curve with about 1/3 of "Antarctica" in darkness at the very least rather than the 24-hour sun nonsense.

    Just more distraction.  Your globe "model" is invalidated by the finding that the earth does not curve according to the expected math, but there's no way to refute this, so you just continue to bluster about "models" ... while simply assuming that the "globe model" works and is accurate, which is false.  It's precisely because the globe model has been invalidated by experiments that we're searching for a new model, whereas you cling due to your brainwashing to the "accepted" model.
