This still doesn't prove the shape of the earth.
It proves it’s not flat & a 24 hour sun in Antarctica during the summer months there fits perfectly with the globe model. Stop trying to evade the issue and think for yourself. All you’re doing is relying on your flat earth mindset & being in constant denial.

No I'm not I'm just trying to understand how a 24 hour sun in Antarctica proves the shape of the earth.

That’s just denial mode mindset. You haven’t even tried to figure it out.

Yes I have, many times & I just can't see how all this proves the shape of the earth.

Because it can't happen on a flat earth and is exactly what a globe earth predicts. There's no no other option therefore the earth is a rotating globe. Figure it out yourself. How does a 24 hour sun in Antarctica fit with a flat earth?

You haven't. Because if you had you would be very very puzzled of how a 24 hour sun in Antarctica could possibly happen on a flat earth & you would see how it fits perfectly with a rotating globe earth.

You can prove this, right ?
Anyone can - by looking at a map of the world, talking to people who've been to Antarctica, reading about people who've sailed round it, watching programmes, and reading, about Antarctica.
Of course, you have no answer for any of that except, "fake."
Never mind laughing; what's the answer?
The sun and moon represent the hands on a clock, yet the hands on a clock are together 8 times in 24 hours.
What's your explanation?
Of course it wouldn't to a conformist glober such as yourself.
What does it explain?
You said;
Sorry no can do, I'd find it hard to explain all this in simplistic way it's all so mind boggling where as on the flat earth model it's so easy & simple.
Your "explanation" was that the sun and moon are like the hands on a clock.
Right, so which is the hour hand and which is the minute hand - does the sun race around the sky while the moon moves more slowly, or vice versa? What happens when both hands are together - as they are 8 times a day on a clock?

You haven't explained anything at all - all you've done is to find a YouTube video (surprise, surprise) which, you believe, is someone else answering the question.

He does in some of his videos, I believe this one b/c it is the truth what he is saying.
Because he agrees with your beliefs.
You only believe people who agree with your beliefs. Even the Flat Earth Society - which was set up for all those who believe the earth is flat - cannot be trusted, according to you.

How does a 24 hour sun in Antarctica prove the shape of the earth ? Explain plz
You put forward a hypothesis (earth is a globe rotating on a tilted axis while orbiting a distant sun), you then make predictions based on that hypothesis (at particular latitudes the sun will appear to follow a specific path in Winter and another specific path in Summer) and then you test those predictions by observing what path the Sun appears to follow at those latitudes in Winter and Summer. If they don't match, then your hypothesis is wrong. If they match, then your hypothesis is very likely correct.
All the predictions based on the globe earth model match the observed reality.

There's just one or two problems with this hypothesis, the earth does not move, rotate or orbit.

No, just a stand alone statement with no evidence.

I have all the evidence I need from God.

He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. Psalms 104:5

It can never be moved from its orbit, on its foundations of God’s fundamental laws of physics where God has placed it. No evidence there of a flat stationary earth.

You’re having a laugh now. ^_^
No, but your misuse of Scripture is somewhat laughable in the face of reality.

It’s a bit like quoting Isaiah 55:12 & then claiming trees have hands cuz the Bible says so.

“For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12 NKJV

I'm afraid you completely fail to realise that the joke's on you.

You have said - in your own words - that the shape of the earth doesn't matter. Yet you write post after post and YouTube clip after YouTube clip arguing that it is the shape that you say that it is.
You "can't get your head around" science and have no answer for the evidence of a globe earth, so you just say that you don't believe scientists.
Your only answer to those who have seen the earth from space and know perfectly well what shape it is, is "liar".
You have said that if people believed that the earth was flat they would agree with the Bible and there would be more conversions - Eric Dubay believes the earth to be flat, and he is a non-Christian who mocks God. But you have more faith in him than in a Christian astronaut who has walked on the moon and is now leading people to Christ.
At first, you were interested in this final experiment which would prove the shape of the earth. Then you started to say that you thought it was a scam. Then you heard that Dean Odel had been offered a free place and said that you were VERY excited about it. Then you heard that he'd turned down this free place and started saying, again, that it's a scam. Yet IF globe earthers were to say, "ok, we have the evidence, the earth is flat," I am 100% certain you'd change your mind and start saying, "told you so; you need to believe this experiment."
It's only, apparently, a scam because the results are indeed pointing to a globe earth and you can't accept that.
Of course, you're not going to be able to accept that because your starting point has always been that nothing will make you believe in a globe earth.
