yes but where will the stop sign be

where ont he globe

Wherever the sun is setting?

sun rise

Rising

sunrise equinox east where do we put the stop sign

I don't understand what you are saying, we just put it where the sun is rising

And looking east, it obstructs the sun

yeah where would we put the stop sign up

On the ground? Lol, idk what you mean

yes on the ground where on the equator ?

would the stop sign be on the ground on the equator ?

Wherever the sun is currently rising on the equator, that location changes of course

Yes

ok whew

this is like pulling teeth lol

ok we have our stop sign at the equator

a guy in new york and a guy in brazil walk straight at the stop sign

they will both meet correct

at the stop sign

Yes, if they walk to that stop sign

ok

i think we are m aking progress

and that stop sign we know is east

because thats where the sun was for everyone on earth

Well, no. The people from New York and Brazil wouldn't walk east to reach it, they would have to go southern or northern direction

lol

To get to the equator

man i thought we were getting somewhere

Wait, so the sun is right where the stop sign is?

the sun rises east but now if im gonna travel in that direction im not going east somehow ? how does my direction change from east to not east

The sun is rising east from everyone

yes i know

The sun is not where the stop sign is, so you can't use it as an analogy

the stop sign is where we see the sunrise

obviously its not where the sun is

its ont he ground

Yes, but the sun is distant

ok well when we see the sunrise its at the equator

Above the equator

well if the sun is midway from rising its right at the equator line
