Let me ask you a question. If there was a telescope on Mount Everest pointed in the direction of the Statue of Liberty, would you be able to see it? Why not?

Because the dark area you see on the moon during its phase change is not caused by the earth.

You can do better than this.

Deteriorating visibility based upon atmospheric conditions.

Start walking. If you fall off you were right .

I seriously can’t believe people think the earth is flat. Really

So you're saying the moon is in it's Emo phase?

And if it did, all cyclones would spin the same direction. But they don’t. How does your flat earth separate hemispheres?

But, remember, the moon is always half lit. This is because it has but one light source... the Sun. Therefore, for instance, when you see a black or 'new moon', it is simply facing away from you and pointing toward the Sun. ? Also, if you see a full moon in the sky, that means the Sun is behind your back. Even at night-time when it is totally dark, the sunlight still lights the moon because they are the same altitude with each other.

If it's clear, you think it would be possible? The weird thing is the earth eventually gets in your way.

Mount Everest Elevation 29,029

New York City is 33' above sea level

There are obvious mountain ranges in between both that would block the view.

Next question.

even a "clear" atmospheric condition still degrades visibility over long distances.

most compelling evidence?


A globe?

The moon? And other planets? If they were flat how do you explain being able to watch them rotate on an axis.

And by that same logic....my map proves that the earth is flat.

Because the phases of the moon aren't a shadow of the earth.

Why you see it:



Still though, I can't understand how there are so many roundies still out there, OPEN YOUR EYES idiots! If the world was really round, explain this:

What happens when you get to the end of the map? If the earth is flat, how is it possible to fly around it in an airplane? You believe in Pacman physics? You just appear magically on the other side?

I've never seen the moon rotate....have you? The answer is no. The face of the moon has been pointing at us forever.
