Because it is too far out to immediately notice the convergence
but they will meet
Yes, but that is irrelevant to my point, the point is with how far away it is.
so the guy in new york and brazil will eventually meet
i dont even know what impact this has on the globe or flat earth i just wanna find out how east works lol
Eventually, but too far out to notice from earth, so it appears like this on the equinox
Rather than like this
The lines in the above picture would meet eventually but the point is too far away to notice, so it appears parallel in that vicinity.
The bottom pictures assumes the sun is right on the earth, which isn't the case here
the sunrise is at earth we can mark a spot on earth where we see the sunrise
yes its 93 million miles away (we will talk about that later) but we can mark a spot on earths surface where we see the sun
can we not mark a spot on earth where we see the sunrise ??
Yes, we can, and it looks like the first image above on the equinox
The directions of sunrise and sunset
ok so where we see the sunrise and the spot on earth we marked with the stop sign
right we got our spot on earth that is east for everyone on earth now
What do you mean you want to know how east works?
aech
lol ive been debating this east thing for days
i wanna know if u go east do u circumnavigate or end up at the equator
Just confused what you guys are talking about exactly i guess
If you go east you circumnavigate.
No, we don't, you are conflating the stop sign with the apparent sun position
see i dont think so
idk what conflating means
To combine two ideas into one, when in this case, they are different
con·flate
/kənˈflāt/
verb
gerund or present participle: conflating
the definition made it worse lol
I believe circumnavigation east works the same on the globe or flat model. Unless you are on the equator of the globe model
why
the equator is the only place u can go east and stay ont he same line of lattitude imo
More complicated on a Globe, this is non-euclidean, if you self correct with a compass, you can stay on any particular latitude
It is easier for me to visualize on a flat earth
well idk
And it doesn't matter which map, AE and Mercator are simple to me in this case
to me it makes more sense to me that when ur on a globe u go east u will end up at the equator
ok how about this
we take a pole run it from the middle of the sun to earth
their is our marker
on earth
where is the marker gonna be at sunrise on the equinox
