How can a sphere look the same from all angles
Even on a flat earth
If the moon actually was spinning on it's own orbit you would see a different slivers of it's whole surface every night for 27 nights until it returned it's face to you.
Not if the moon was spinning in sync with the earth
No such thing as spinning in synch with us if we are going 1k and it at a much slower speed then that is an impossibility sir.
We are spinning fast and it takes them 27 days to reach a whole rotation so that is just not possible ever
If you hold out your hand and spin in a circle, you aren’t going to be able to be the other side of your hand, no matter how many times or how fast you spin
You’ll have to turn your hand over for that
But you left out the fact that the hand would have to be independent and spinning slow and in it's own orbit so that is just a bad thought process you need to correct within your self or use a better example to explain your point sir
Okay
So
The moon completes 1 full spin and 1 full revolution around the earth in the same amount of time
So relative to the earth, the same side always faces us
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
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
No..
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
