This was achieved by comparing the shadows of sticks in different locations. When the sun was directly overhead in one place, the stick there cast no shadow. At the same time in a city around 500 miles north, the stick there did cast a shadow.

If the Earth were flat then both sticks should show the same shadow (or lack of) because they would be positioned at the same angle towards the sun. The ancient Greeks found the shadows were different because the Earth was curved and so the sticks were at different angles. They then used the difference in these angles to calculate the circumference of the Earth. They managed to get it to within 10% of the true value – not bad for around 250 B.C.

Another piece of evidence for a globe is the difference between the night skies in the northern and southern hemispheres. The view is completely different because the Earth beneath you is pointing in a different direction. If the Earth were flat, the view should be the same. This can be made even easier by simply comparing when it is night and day in each country.

You can observe the planets as well. They all rotate, and watching over the course of a few days gives a clear picture they are spherical rather than flat. The chance that most of the planets are spherical but the Earth is flat seems very unlikely.

also

if earth is flat, are the other planets flat aswell?

anything to say to this? @PhumoZTYPE

On most fe models other planets are spheres. They think the world is flat since the world can sustain life, therefore it is unique. Therefore it somehow has special properties that make it flat

There’s no proof of planets being physical objects anyways for all we know they are just luminous objects in the sky

..

mars rover?

That’s nasa lying, we know they can’t be trusted

how do you know that then?

Like they lied about the moon landing

Why do you think they lied about moon landing

yeah why would they? what’s the point and where’s the evidence they did?

and don’t say fish eye lenses

Firstly how does a flag wave in space

Well it has no resistance aside from gravity, so it is allowed to flow freely

Another ‘giveaway’ that the landing was faked comes from the footage of the American flag that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed on the Moon. From photos and video, it appears to be flapping in the wind. But hold on a minute! There’s no air on the Moon so how can it flutter?!

The truth is that the flag isn’t flapping. If you look closely at the gif to the left, the flag is in the same position between two frames as the astronaut moves. There is a horizontal rod projecting from the post at the top of the pole to hold the flag unfurled. The flag was disturbed as it was planted into the ground and kept this bent shape because of the lack of strong gravity on the Moon.

In video footage of the flag being planted into the Moon’s surface, it also appears to wave back and forth. This is because when the astronauts were planting it, they rotated it back and forth to better dig into the lunar soil, which of course made the flag ripple as it swung like a pendulum- without a breeze. There’s a huge amount of footage of the flags stood on the Moon in exactly the same position.

;-;

And I think it’s foolish for them to say that the reason we cannot go to the moon anymore today is because they destroyed the technology and it’s a painful process to build it up again. We’re in 2019 and tech has definitely improved after 50 years

🤦🏼‍♀️

ok so

So did you look at nasa's yt channel recently

They are planning to

Go back to the

Moon

ye

And there’s an interview with Neil Armstrong and he is asked if he saw and stars and planets while in space and on the moon and he said he didn’t see any stars or planets , he just saw a deep black void and the earth but I watched another interview with Don Petit and he said he sees plenty of stars all the time in space. So who’s lying ?

@demonwarrior2266 yup

so u believe it was faked bc a story changed?

🤡

Well that could be explained. Neil lives in new york where there is a lot of light polution in the sky, so it is harder for him to see the stars and other things in the sky

He was in space

He said he didn’t see any stars and planets in space

And how did Apollo 11 go through the Van Allen radiation belts

Van allen belt argument lom

@💕~𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒂~💕 lots to say to your comments but i have to goto work. Catch you later

the van allen belts are made up of charged particles, protons and electrons

Cuz NASA

I will give you a link for the space belt

Ever hear of the high voltage orbital long tether experiments?

the aluminum skin of the module protected against the protons, while polyethylene lining protected against the electrons
