The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but also 400 times farther away than the Moon from Earth

It’s really sad how many people now believe the flat earth model which was disproven hundreds of years ago. We think
Of ourselves as the be all and end all and only take our PERSPECTIVE into consideration. The more I hear flat earthers speak the more stupid they appear. We are a speck in the grand scheme of the universe. Flat earthers clearly had poor comprehension skills as a child and now that they are older and have a better understanding swallow up pseudoscience as gospel.

The sun is not the size it appears in our sky, if we were on Mercury it would appear larger. Also the glow around a burning ball of gas is larger than the source itself. Have you ever seen a flash light?

The range of our heliosphere is large, are you suggesting that other planets have their own sun @Swagnificent?

How would a sun that is the same size as the moon warm and light our solar system?

Also another poster mentioned the speed of light, this must count for something.

If our sun is a star that is the same size as our moon how can we see all the other stars in the sky? Surely the light from our sun would cancel out the light coming from other stars due to how close it would have to be.

Whilst all stars are not the same size surely our sun being the same size as the moon would mean it’s much closer to earth to be visible. The seas would boil surely.

If the sun is the size of the moon how does it light so much of the planet at once? Are you suggesting the sun moves around the earth?

If the sun is a small as the moon we should be very very worried, the smaller it is the denser it is and the closer it is to the end of its current life cycle. All the hydrogen fuel will be used up soon enough,and life on earth as we know it would come to an end.

I have so many questions.

Side note: I only know male flat earthers and no female ones. I’m not sure why this is.

If the sun was that far, you could not see it. Believe in simulated phenomena brehs.

This is the most logical answer we dont know

Yes, we do know and have 1st-hand information, so, no, this is NOT the most logical answer.

:facepalm:

Please, don't feed the trolls. They don't understand science whatsoever and their willful ignorance is contagious.​

:ohhh: now that I think about it, we've never actually seen a real image of the Sun from space.

You would think with all the probes we allegedly have in space, they would have one of them take a picture of the Sun that wasn't CGI.

Its crazy how much we're being lied to by NASA.



Who says we don't? Now your you're rejust taking out of your ass.

Its easier to simulate a reality on a flat plane than a spinning ball.

Just look at video games like GTA. The city in the game is designed on a flat plane. The game engine doesn't waste resources simulating a spinning globe. Our reality is fundamentally built the same way.

This is WOAT level logic.

GTA is designed on a flat plane because the game takes place in one city/state. So rendering anything beyond that is pointless.

And there is games (like "No Man's Sky") that render 18 quintillion planets. Most of which are round, and all of which you can visit.
So by your logic whatever hardware is running our reality isn't even on the level of current gen gaming consoles....but it rendered those consoles....and 18 quintillion planets.

False analogy.

We've seen Jets close up so we know from experience their size. Nobody has seen the Sun and Moon from the same distance to compare their sizes. All we have is our perception of them in the sky. And in our sky they look to be the same size and distance from us.
Let's use your previous example of an eclipse.

One, given objects appear smaller the further away they are. If the Sun appears to be the same size as the Moon it's behind, how can it physically match the Moon's size? One would clearly have to be bigger than the other.

Two, if they're equally the same distance from us, why have the two objects not collided during an eclipse?

Three, are the Moon and Sun orbiting earth?
