[quote:Anonymous Coward 1010900:MV8xMTM1NDg3XzE4MjIxMDUwXzlBMUEwRURD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 515108] Did you calculate the exact distance and scale on your approach? [/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 961432] The distance from the sun is very, very much larger than the diameter of the earth, this is why the sun sets in the west and rises in the east. Good try punisher. [/quote] LOL -- As long as the source of light can illuminate half the Globe its big enough, any bigger and its a waste of Watts. :peace: [/quote]
Original Message
Hold your Globe before a source of light.
Place your index finger where you live (approximately).
Spin the Globe slowly counter-clock as your eye keenly follows your finger to when it first comes in contact (visual) with the source of light -- This is the Sunrise for the round earth.
You will note as you continue to slowly spin the Globe that at the very same spot where you first came in contact with the light will be the same place where it will exist, meaning; where the sun-rose will be the place where the Sun will set, thereby, we would see the Sun setting in our skies at the very same spot we see it rise which of course isn't what most of us see.
Excluded are the science Apprentices and their Priests who wrote their Holy Books.

I DARE YOU!
