I can’t really attest to *how* sharp the divide is, so that part has me, but I can see how it would work.

I still find it hard to fully internalize that

That sun’s movement kinda makes you think

How the sun looks like it’s getting small?

I sort of just picture the clouds being thick as the sun sets.

Also, it’s pretty fair to see that and disagree with what I said. Not trying to convince you, just trying to show that the other view isn’t completely stupid.

But the sun “setting” would mean here that it’s moving as we are accustomed to see in this model: https https://goo.gl/images/Vs683z

And yeah don’t worry, I understand you

Right, right, and it works fine for that model (sort of)

Actually more of a question to you, how do you explain the sun seemingly staying in the same position while also looking like it’s shrinking into the distance?

What do you mean “staying in the same position”?

In that video the sun stays in the same position (the camera doesn’t move but the sun stays in the center)

At the same time the sun looks like it’s receding off into the distance

But with the sun rotating away, as in the model you posted, the sun should also bare off to the left or right while it fades out.

It’s almost as if the video doesn’t entirely match either view.

Yeah. It’d say that the camera is in the spot where the curve is yet to be seen. If, say, there was another camera more miles further, then you’d see it making the curve, because, from direct perception at that moment, and taking into account the size of the sun, it’d take more miles (for the camera) to see the “leaning”.

The model shows “quick” turns, but in reality it ain’t that fast

No, I understand that

Also, if you put your finger on the starting point, you’ll see some slight leaning to the left

Though not great

I’m just observing that no matter where you position the camera, the sun should have turned slightly at some point from being stationary.

Let me look at the video again, maybe I can see that turn if I look a bit closer.

It is turning, it’s just not gonna be as “radical” as we’d think

If you put a line through the middle of the sun, as it shrinks in that video, both sides stay the same size.

I see it going to the left

If you put a line on the edge, it does look like it’s turning since the edge of the sun is slowly tracking away from the line.

I traced a line on the starting point

I wish I could demonstrate it, but I don’t really know how.

With your drawing tool

Yeah, I think this one needs to be more precise than I can do with that, lol

We both saw how bad my drawings are, lmao

Lmao

This image sort of gets at what I mean, even if it’s meant for something completely different:

Welp lol

One of those dotted line last cuts both circles in half

The one that gets close to the “X”

Yeah I see it

The red line shows the difference in where the edge of the circle is if the circle gets smaller

How are you relating it with the video? I’m trying to understand
