No the sun does
This is the official explaination
That a Spherical Earth is obstructing the light from the sun
You're supposed to be on the Earth are you not?
So if that is the case you should be able to put up a big balloon or a big billboard at exactly the right place and cast a custom shadow on the moon, shouldn't you?
I mean you've got a telescope haven't you?
Even a small custom shadow should be easily visible with a telescope?
Ya
What
Not really. From hundreds of thousands of kilometres away, the shadow will have vanished.
So you're telling me you can't prove the Earth is the cause of the shadow on the moon?
@Ivan Pavlovich Seriously?
I can't even imagine how massive your billboard would have to be to cover the sun from that far away.
The hindenburg come on
Big ass airship
Do that and you've proved cause and effect
Is going to cover up a significant portion of the sun from 240,000 miles away?
Hindenburg's angular size from moon at perigee: 0.000011776° by 0.00000198°. Since the sun's angular size is about 0.5°, this would mean the Hindenburg would only cover 0.0000000373% of the sun from the moon. That's not gonna cast a shadow.
So assuming the distance to the moon is correct, which I doubt btw, you can not show cause and effect experimental evidence that the Earth or the FLOOR causes the shadow on the moon, can you?
Well, there's the fact that they only happen when the sun and moon are opposite each other, plus the round shadow on the moon whose size varies from eclipse to eclipse: larger when the moon is closer, smaller when it is further away.
When waves are polar opposite do they or do they not cause interference patterns?
Yep. The famous double-slit experiment.
So as you can see, it is possible to see the sun and the fully eclipsed moon in the sky above you at the same time, the floor is obviously not the cause of the dark spot then the red spot on the moon, is it?
You mean both being on the horizon? Well, refraction certainly plays a role. Plus, the entire earth is below you, so even if you're not quite directly between the sun and moon, if you go a few hundred miles closer to that line, you will be.
Its good to be back
Lol
@Ivan Pavlovich are you saying the apparent and geometric positions of both the sun and the moon are not the same?
You're telling me now that what I see with my own two eyes I did not see
Human sheeple go to YouTube and search memulous and look at his latest video about invading discord servers
we've seen it.
Ah right
Anyone wanna come down and chat with me about the flat earth?
@Citizen Z How does FE explain things going below the horizon?

c:
There's ALWAYS atmospheric refraction, and that wasn't even the only thing I mentioned.
