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
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
