[QUOTE="HantsUK, post: 77670317, member: 252008"] This is a pointless statement, as each of us think that we understand "it" (whatever "it" is). In an exam writing 'I understand it' will not earn you any marks. You have to demonstrate that you know the subject by answering the questions. What has NASA to do with the earth being a globe? Absolutely nothing. There are several different observations you can make that can only be explained by a globe earth, but not by a flat earth. Some examples: [INDENT][LIST] [*]Sunrise [*]The sun always looks round, and is the same size as it crosses the sky [*]Sunset [*]Just after sunset, clouds are lit from underneath [*]Watch the sunset while lying down, then stand up and watch it set again [*]Twilight - much shorter near the equator and longer further north (e.g. in the UK). [*]Horizon, not a vanishing point - you can see further from a high point than at sea level. Example: see an island from the top of a hill but not at sea level. [/LIST][/INDENT] Returning to the video about which I commented. If my reply had only been: then this reply would have added no value. But I then tried to explain why the video was nonsense. The Antarctic is not entirely covered in ice and snow. There are areas with plant life. (I did not know this.) Apple Sky ignored my reply beyond the first line. [/QUOTE]
