I can see a plane in the sky
that's 7 miles up ;P
how small is it
with just their lights
a cessna
put it 21 miles up, how much smaller is it?
put it 300 miles up, you won't be able to see it
@Goldsteel - Dont be misconstrued by other "FEers"
we dont mean Exactly always precisely up to "eye-level"
-- They're/we're being approximate there
.
you got a plane only 300 miles away and you can't even see it
because the curve hides it
you really think you can see forever when its only 300 miles away and you can't see it
:dab:
wtf
imagine how big the sun is when its 3,400 miles away and its that big
what happened to my nitro
@Goldsteel "Stars" are close -- uhm so what?
they're not trillons of Lightyears away
luckily we can see the sun with our limited vision
i nose dat i nose
dats how
** stick with refraction plz**
I need some explanation for this image: https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a04c6df7269268394ce2348d6476bf22-c
There is no possible way
we have distance detectors based on optics, we can shine a laser and determine how far the laser went
plus? looking UP? you're looking into >> __less dense__ "atmosphere" .. mkay
.
that perspective causes this
got it fellas? ..i hope so
None at all - I can prove it 6 ways to sunday lol
the moon and sun follow roughly the same path, we measured the distance of the moon and extropolate they are roughly on the same plane in the firmament
okay sorry I'll stop being rude
I still need an explanation 👀
they aren't above the firmament, but in it
do your own research
If stars are close, why don't they exhibit parallax from moving over the flat earth?
No more refraction? I'll just call that a win for us 😏
if stars are far away, why do we see the same constellations regardless of what day of the year it is.
why do we have the same constellations for the last 5,000 years, the sky is seeing the same stars
big dipper, yep, still there
small dipper yep
last chance for refraction points :v
my great grand daddy saw the same constellations
What? The constellations do change depending on the day of the year
