  1.  @patsmith2505  No, sun and moon can be opposite day v night, or see both in the sky at once.

  2. A 300 pound weight weighs a pound less at the equator, which is EXACTLY the centripetal force calculation for a rotating earth 8000 miles in diameter.

  3.  @ee.es00  That's just things looking smaller at a distance. They don't get their lower part clipped off until they are over the horizon.

  4.  @ee.es00  Oh yes they do. Street lights are seen to converge as you go away from them. That's because the distance between them looks smaller. And yes, things do go over the curve. Look: You know how flerflers claim the horizon rises to level with your eye? It doesn't, the horizon is ALWAYS LOWER than the level line of sight. And the higher your vantage point, it gets lower and lower, right up to orbit. What you're seeing is the world curving down away from you, and you can see more curving down the higher you go.

  5.  @ee.es00  No, I'm a physicist. I know every proof of the roundness of the earth. The earth rotates once in 24 hours. That's a very slow rotation. A thousand miles an hour doesn't matter, we only feel acceleration, NOT speed. And the atmosphere rotates with is, just as you do. The earth's orbit is very gradual, and gravity of the sun pulls you and the earth the same. You don't feel it. If you were on a big ball whirled on a huge cord you WOULD, but gravity pulls the same on everything. We go around the sun at 67,000 mph. Our path takes a year. The sun is 860,000 miles in diameter, the earth is only 8000 miles in diameter. The sun is 93 million miles away. Here's how you can know the sun is very far away. The compass angle of the sunrise is exactly the same at every point on earth on the same day. That means ALL rays from the sun are virtually parallel. The only way that could happen is if the sun is very very far away.

  6.  @sunbear2644  It doesn't if it's beyond the horizon. Eric Dubay LIED!! Bigtime.

  7.  @sunbear2644  Yes, you do not feel gravity pulling on you, which is what pulls planets around in ellipses. It pulls on everything the same. If there was no gravity and the earth was on a big cable to the sun, it WOULD be different, but it isn't. Your denial of physics is evidence of your idiocy. And it's professor Scientist to you!!

  9.  @nemeart  Gravitational orbit is composed of two energies, potential and kinetic. A circle is also an ellipse. When the orbital velocity matches the required velocity for that orbital radius, its path is a circle, The circular orbital velocity is given by v = SQRT (GM/r^2). If you have too much orbital velocity for the orbital distance from the center of the earth, the extra energy climbs the gravitational "hill" and that energy is stored in increased radius, and gravitational energy, for half the orbit, and when it falls down again it changes to the extra speed again, resulting in an ellipse with the earth at one focus. In an elliptical orbit the two energies, potential and kinetic, keep exchanging energies even though the total of the two is a constant, as in a circular orbit. When satellites or manned craft are launched, an extra engine burn is often done to circularize the orbit. In a circular orbit apogee and perigee are the same, but in an elliptical orbit, the apogee is greater than the perigee. Kinetic energy is KE = mv^2/2 and PE is mgr, where r is the radius of the orbit, and m is the objects mass, and g is the force of gravity. To know the apogee height, just calculate the increase in r from the energy equations.

  10.  @ee.es00  We see the stars and planets move as if we are moving. In reality stars don't move enough to see in your lifetime, except that the earth moves and rotates.

  11.  @richardwind2859  Yes, you can, I aimed our dish at it when it went over and talked to my cousin who was aboard!!! It's the brightest thing in the sky other than the moon, idiot. It's as big as a football field.

  12.  @sunbear2644  You CANNOT FEEL the acceleration of gravity, what do you feel when you're falling!?? Nothing, you're weightless!! Same for the earth in its orbit.

  13.  @ee.es00  The table is NOT a horizon.

  14.  @nemeart  ALL circles are also ellipses. You need to study physics, and don't pretend you know it till you have studied it.

  15.  @sunbear2644  I KNOW we did, six times, twelve of them.

  16.  @sunbear2644  You're an utterly worthless moron who only thinks you're funny.

  17.  @sunbear2644  YOU imagine you need the "basic logic" of an uneducated idiot. The rotation of the earth is NOT an ellipse.

  18.  @richardwind2859  Nothing you said matters because that is NOT how we determine the size of the earth or the distance to stars. Since you don't KNOW these things, you should go learn precisely how it is done so you don't look like the complete dumbass you are!!

  19.  @richardwind2859  No it doesn't, the EVIDENCE proves it. No "faith" needed.

  20.  @richardwind2859  And that means you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction like most of us can.

  21.  @lucskywalker5559  Glare is oversaturation of your retina. You can stop the glare with a pinhole camera box. Cardboard box, one side a pinhole, other side a piece of white paper. Point at the sun, you can see its size and even see sunspots on it. Mark size with a pencil, do it over and over all day, no change in size.

  24. It's called its axis, and it works. You see the tilt by measuring the sun's noon angle through the summer and winter every day.

  25.  @zimma2330  The bulge as you call it is tiny, only a few miles compared to 8000 mile diameter.

  27.  @ee.es00  Actually it is.

  28.  @ee.es00  Going over the hill or the horizon is NOT "converging". The bottom DISAPPEARS and the top does NOT!!

  31.  @nemeart  Think of whirling a weight on a rubber band, instead of a cord. That is what's going on here. Don't worry, just take some junior college physics courses and work on your English.

  33.  @richardwind2859  You're believing an Eric Dubay(tm) myth, and you don't understand how big the earth is.

  34.  @ee.es00  That doesn't happen that way. Tables aren't curved surfaces.

  35.  @richardwind2859  Dubay claims you can "bring ships back" from their bottoms disappearing by zooming in. That's garbage. If their bottoms have disappeared then they are just over the horizon behind the curve of the earth. Often flerfers will try to claim this for ships not even TO the horizon yet, being stupid.

  36.  @richardwind2859  Dubay is a complete moron. I'm a physicist. Hundreds of people have now lived and worked in space for months, one is a cousin of mine. You're ignorant and deceived.

  39.  @hjsalvage2  Actually it is. it's 93 million miles away and 860,000 miles in diameter.

  40. No it's not. You're confused by pincushioning. When the horizon is directly in the middle of the lens field, its curvature is accurate. Up high in the frame it bulges and down low it bows. At the center you see the horizon is slightly curved upward, that's the curve of the earth.

  41.  @GuardianSoulkeeper  He meant for most of us, and before space travel. In any case, we can't stay up there forever, we have to come back here for food water and air. And there's no where we know of to go and stay.

  42. Illusion of glare. Sun looks like its in front of a tree if you see it through branches without a filter.

  43.  @Steph-lw8hl  There are NO sunspots on the earth. The sun is 93 million miles away. You can prove this by your friends all over the world calling you to tell you the compass direction of the rising sun on the same day at their location, they're ALL THE SAME DIRECTION!! This could NOT be true unless the sun was VERY VERY far away. The sun is 680,000 miles across, the earth only 8000 miles across. Every angular location of the sun to the earth is the same everywhere at the same time. The sun is a mighty STAR, not some little spotlight, The solar spots on the ocean are reflections of the sun from the ocean acting as a mirror. They move when YOU move, like any reflection.

  44.  @fostena  Actually if you can look out over the ocean from a high vantage point, using a very long straight-edge you can see the bulging upward of the curve of the horizon. Horizontal digital compression makes it obvious. But also, the horizon doesn't "rise to eye level" as flerfers claim either, it's ALWAYS lower than the level line of sight. And the higher you go the lower it gets, right up to orbit. You're standing on a globe looking down over its down-curving edge in all directions. With a little trigonometry you can measure the size of the earth this way.

  45.  John Carboni  There isn't any, we've been to the moon and sent robots to mars and the outer planets. If you seriously doubt this or think it's a hoax, you're a paranoid moronic idiot.
