well if north is always towards the north pole, and east is 90 deg clockwise from taht
then the lines you have drawn in that image aren't along an eastward path
they START pointing that way, but then they turn
idk
u could be right idk
what if u arent right
well you already do know
b/c you know that a compass points north right
yes
and east is defined based on taht
so there you already know
do u see where im having a problem with the equinox and it being east for everyone
yes
and i'm trying to explain where east is
you have to imagine that the sun is really far out
and the size of teh earth is negligible compared to that distance
ive seen sly sparkanes fake earth and sun and ive seen jeranism do it on google earth
the google earth one made more sense to me
how about this one:
i dont think i am i could be im not sure
ill ahve to watch ur video later
im not talkin about flat earth jsut the globe though
ditto
idk what that would mean for the globe or flat earth i just wanna know how east works lol
on the globe
well i'm explaining it
ive heard it explained
multiple times
youre hitting this roadblock b/c you misunderstand what east is
the sun is so far out i know
those arcs on google earth aren't east
those are great circle paths around the earth
i know
well i know they are great circle paths
they all lead east to the moment of sunrise on the equinox
i dunno why you're saying that
does a direction pependicular to that line, point north?
because they are all leading east to the sunrise thats where the sun rises for everyone on the equinox
if it doesn't then it's not east
