half the sun is up
It is at the equator but also seen in the north and south, the equator isn't special in this case other than the sun being above it on the equinox
its right at the equator
idk what we are disagreeing over
I think I know
It is over the parallax of the sun
In the Globe model, the parallax of the sun is unnoticeable since it is 93 million miles away approx, so the observers don't visually intersect.
You say they should intersect at the equator as if the sun is right there in the atmosphere
But at the same time you acknowledge that the sun rises east on the equinox, so you redefine east to mean visually to the equator, comparing it to a traversing observer rather than a tangent line extending out to a distant space
when everyone looks at the sun rising on the equinox they are looking at the equator
The sun isn't located on earth at the equator however, so no, it is so distant that each person looks parallel to each other as the point of intersection is unnoticeable from the earth frame of reference
Alright, @garfield the cat has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.
what in the heckin gosh darn are y'all arguing about
@garfield the cat The Equinox and sunrise directions
day after day this east thing gets us nowhere
i love arguing with u though astral
I think it got somewhere
lol
When you said this,
*ur telling me ifthe new york guy and the guy in brazil walk straight toward that point their paths would never cross ?*
I found us getting somewhere
Oh yay, I'm verified
But where will they cross?
Where they cross, that is where the sun is, right?
idk but u cant have 2 people in different locations walk to the same point and not have them meeting eventually
now im not even worried where the people will meet at this point lol
If they cross far enough out, they will appear parallel as if they would never intersect
so ur telling me 2 people in different locations walking toward the same point will never meet ?
is that what u are saying
No, I'm not, but,
Two people walking to the same point, if that point is far enough out, they will appear to walk parallel to each other as if they would never meet
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
