Yes I know
well what you think the sun is
<:uh_duhh:583617741684998154>
Our solar system's star.
in the clouds
mkay
Not in the clouds
Much beyond the clouds.
yeah i heard it was 93 million miles or something 😂
Yea, just because it's a long distance does not meet it is false
just because they told you its that doesnt mean it is
I know.
ok
you have proof
I don't take things at face value
of these distances
you have proof then
?
Many fields of science depend on these distances, and the distance itself was mathmatticly descovered
how was it discovered
?
how do you know it true ,who discovered it and how
and how do you know thats true also
Christiaan Huygens
He is the one who first found it out
how
How do you know what is true?
Oh ye let me find his work
im asking you to state why you know its true
In 1653, astronomer Christiaan Huygens calculated the distance from Earth to the sun. He used the phases of Venus to find the angles in a Venus-Earth-sun triangle.
ohh dear
how far away os venus
and how do you know
this could take a looongg time
The underlying principle behind Halley's method is something called parallax, the shift in position that comes from viewing an object from two different points.
It would take a long time. But something taking a long time doesn't matter
you are going off methodology or distances of said objects and magnitudes sizes etc thats been given to you ,which you use as proof
which isnt proof
Also, tell me this, why would they hide the shape of the earth?
