The OP video is a good one to see when you're thinking about where the sun is during a full moon at midnight.

Incidentally this month, March, has another blue moon.
We just had a blue moon in January.

The only thing flat-earthers have to fear is sphere itself. :incense:
.

.
In the past, flat-earthers have complained that the diagrams offered for their edification are of no use because they are "not to scale," and that this not being to scale is a matter of great anxiety for them. They presuppose that someone is trying to deceive them by using untruthful diagrams or whatever.
.
The fact of the matter is, a diagram that is to scale showing these things is a diagram that cannot be seen on you computer screen, because the images of the sun and planets and especially the moon are too small to be noticeable, that is, they would be smaller than one pixel. Well, the sun might be two or three pixels. But it would nonetheless be something that doesn't show up obviously.
.
Here is a good attempt to depict the difficulty. The picture shows three scales.
The whole point is for these bodies to be VISIBLE to the viewer, that means YOU.
.
The scale on top (first panel) shows a large blue earth and a smaller yellow moon at its relative distance and diameter, to scale.
They're blue and yellow, not green, therefore they are to scale, as the header describes.
.
That's it for diameters being to scale!
The second panel shows the sun's diameter to scale but not the planets.
The third panel has only DISTANCE to scale. Even the sun is a green dot.
The reason for that is, if the diameters were to scale (in the second and third panels) the planets and moons would not be visible because they would be too small.
If they were to show the sun to scale with the top panel, the sun would be the size of a basketball, unable to fit on the page.
.
The scale in the middle (second panel) shows the sun to scale and then enlarged dots for the planets Mercury, Venus and Earth, all at their relative distances to scale from the sun. The planets are enlarged because if their diameters were to scale also, they would be too small, smaller than one pixel, and therefore would not be visible in this format. Notice the two moons of Mars are not visible, as they are much too small. Also, they have "Moon" labeled near Earth but it's too small to be obvious. I tried greatly enlarging this from the source page image, and found there is a sort of shadowy green blur on the right side of Earth which is likely their moon image. In other words, even when they attempt to depict the Moon with a green dot it's not really visible. But again, remember the scale distance and diameter of Earth--Moon is depicted TO SCALE in the first panel, directly above the second panel.
.
Finally, the bottom picture shows a smaller distance scale with all bodies enlarged (even the sun!) so you can see them in one screen width. Notice that from Saturn to Uranus is as far as from Sun to Saturn, and from Uranus to Neptune is further still. Pluto is not shown at all because it would be so very far out the label names wouldn't fit on the page. As it is, the names of Mercury, Venus and Earth are missing in the third panel.
.
The point is, if the second and third panels had everything to scale all you would see is the sun, because the planets would be too small to see, except for Jupiter and perhaps Saturn, which would be about one pixel in diameter (smaller than a speck of dust on your screen).
.
Then the overly-anxious flat-earthers could complain that they could only see a black rectangle with a yellow dot at one end.

Here is a diagram showing how the "flat" earth view of the same moon from two positions on "flat" earth works out:
.
In this diagram, two people are standing on the "flat" earth, separated by about 3,000 miles, comparable to one person in Massachusetts and one in Southern California. They both are looking at the same moon, which is currently a FULL moon, and it is located directly overhead in Nebraska, or halfway between the two observers. Don't worry about where the sun is, because that's not part of this diagram:
.
(https://www.cathinfo.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=47897.0;attach=11875;image)
.
The large moon image on the left is how the same moon (small moon in the center where the arrows are pointing) would have to appear to the viewer in Massachusetts if it were to be a FULL moon, and the large moon on the right is how the same moon would have to appear to the viewer in California, if it were to be a FULL moon.
But notice that the small moon in the center provides the illuminated side of the full moon, while the large moon on the left provides the view of the BACK SIDE of the moon that we never see, so it should be all dark when the moon is full when viewed from earth!
Likewise the large moon on the right provides a view of the moon that we DO see, but when the center small moon appears FULL in Nebraska, the right 30% of the California view ought to be in the dark, too, similar to the Massachusetts view! (but only partially dark)
The two enlarged views are shown fully illuminated so we can identify the details -- if they were partially in the dark we wouldn't be able to see the whole picture as this shows.
The whole point of this diagram is to show how we would be seeing the full moon from different locations on a "flat" earth, but in fact, we don't see this at all. The full moon looks like the SAME FULL MOON from anywhere on the real, spherical, earth.
Not on the "flat" earth, and that's because the earth isn't flat.

Flat-earthers really get annoyed with simple thinking like this, because in order to succuмb to flat-earthdown-syndrome, you have to put your thinking cap on the shelf and forget about it. FUGGETABOUDIT!
