Here's another question that I have not seen a satisfactory answer for vis-a-vis the globe model.
Why do most eclipse "shadows" move from West to East?
In the heliocentric globe model, if you're looking down at the north pole from above, the moon is revolving counter-clockwise around the earth. But the reason the moon rises in the East, rather than the West, is because the earth is rotating roughly (just to simplify the math) 10 times more quickly than the moon is rotating. That's in terms of the degrees of the 360-degree circuit that's covered, not in absolute speed, since the moon is moving about twice as fast in terms of absolute speed due to the size of its orbit.
By this logic, eclipses really SHOULD move from East to West.
Also ... shouldn't we have an eclipse at almost every new moon? Or at least from 1 day to the next. So if on April 8, the moon is between the sun and the earth, wouldn't it still be in roughly the same spot on April 9, having moved only about 1/30th of the way more around the earth?
I admit that I'm not very good at visualizing things in space and angles, but I've tried to come up with answers to these questions, yet can't. I saw a video from NASA where the question of eclipses moving West to East was asked, and the NASA "expert" said it was because the moon moves faster than the earth rotates. That's a completely bogus answer, because it has nothing to do with absolute speed, but with the relative angles between the sun, moon, and earth. Based on that answer, the moon should rise from the West every morning, not from the East.
