Tell you what, answer the below, with or without your telescope, answer it as honestly as you can. You believe the earth is round and revolves around the sun with the other PLANETS, so, explain the diagram below, or at least try too.


The earth in Vernal equinox (March) shows the sun would rise in the North-East and as the earth spins on her axis the sun would cross the sky diagonally (declining) to set South-West. On the September equinox (Autumn) although you only see the dark side of the earth the Tropic of Cancer is at the same angular incline on the day side, therewith, the sun would be rising in the South-East and crossing the sky diagonally (inclining) setting in the North-West.

How could Vernal’s sun-path cross in an X-formation with the Autumn’s sun-path if we were able to draw marking lines in the sky?

How?????
