um no
we complete a full rotation in 24 hours and it takes the moon 27 days to complete the same rotation so you would see a different part every night as it made it's way around us spinning
Why would you see a different part?
why wouldn't we
it is spinning and we spin faster
opposite each other
Because no matter how fast we spin, the moon isn’t going to look different
That would be like trying to see the back of a building by spinning in circles really fast
No you just don't have a good imagination I suppose
The same side always faces the earth
As it revolves around it
No it doesn't. Moving on. My point is how does the moon spinning tell you you live on a spinning water ball?
@Sassy Undeniably do you know what tidally locked means?
Because the moon cannot appears the way it does on a flat earth
On a flat earth, you would see different sides of the moon based on where you are
dur dur dur @Amthyric can you show me one natural example of this here on the plain?
yep
get a string and a ball
attach the ball to the string
so the same can be said of a globe then @Triscuit
paint the side with the string red
spin the ball around your fist
the red side will always face you
Will always face your fist*
But yes
sorry
doing two things at once
yes
your fist
thank you triscuit
@Amthyric exept the moon isn't on a string and is moving independent and going around supposedly so no you wouldn't see it the same side every night you would see the back the front the side and every which way as it made it's orbit. Your brain says tidal lock cause it is a phenomena that doesn't exist in nature but breaks all the rules to tilde look your brain into thinking that it doesn't follow the rules.
that isn't what you asked
you asked for an example of tidal locking
It’s moving exactly like it would if it was on a string
now, it is not a string
That’s what I meant by “in-sync”
but it is still a force
The same side always faces the earth no matter how fast or slow the earth spins
exactly
like if you walk while spinning it around your fist
