north pole is in the center. Following a path on a compass east or west will also navigate you in a circle.

What is this debate about?

not a debate, really, just questions and answers

I know of an easy way to prove round earth.

I had proof but I can't upload images.

No permission

Its to do with the night sky

does it involve two celestial poles?

I said look out at the horizon from a higher point of elevation

cuz that's my fav evidence. :3

It curves

For example, I live in UK and the night sky here is different compared to Canada since they are pretty far away from each other. However, this only works on a round earth.

I never thought about that, you can see different constellations and stars at different points on the earth, that's what you mean right?

Yeah

it's about hemispheres. The southern hemi has an entirely different sky than the northern hemi.

Right.

Key word sphere.

Flat earths don't have spheres

It'd just be north and south I guess

This was what Aristotle discovered on opposite sides of the Mediterranean.

And time zones are a pretty good indication

Yeah, that makes sense

Since earth spins on its axis. So when it's dark in say...Australia it's bright in Britain since they are on opposite sides of earth.

That's what happens when you pay attention in school :)

the night/day cycle is answered by the above the gif I posted, though.

But how does it spin?

Also, how does that gif explain eclipses?

What spin? the sun and moon? Dunno. I've heard some explanations suggest some sort of electromagnetic force, but flat earthers will openly admit they don't know either.

Solar eclipses are explained the same way - the moon travels in front of the sun. Lunar eclipses, though, are tough to explain.

I've heard one explanation of a mysterious *other* celestial body that travels in front of the moon.

the thing is though

solar eclipses are explained by the round earth theory

in general

well

actually by the theory of relativity

and gravity

and gravity existing would disprove the existence of a flat earth

@Drewski4343 the spotlight theory doesn't work. Think about it, if it did you would still be able to see it

Its like a theatre spotlight - just because it's not on you, you can still see the spotlight.

the spotlight theory?

the gravity doesn't exist
