From AI summery: “The height of a geostationary orbit (GEO) is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above Earth's equator. This altitude allows satellites in this orbit to match the Earth's rotation period, appearing stationary relative to a fixed point on the ground.”

Therefore, satellite dishes point south in the northern hemisphere and north in the southern hemisphere

At my longitude it is southeast for the Astra 28.2 satellite system. But yes, geostationary satellites are situated above the equator, which also means the further north the latitude, the nearer to the horizon the dish needs to be aligned towards.

I’m not going to bother to do it, but you could use this information to calculate the circumference of the earth.

It aligns southeast.

Most sat dishes are aligned south, ever wondered why this is ?

Gullible is when somebody believes something that is patently false and has no evidence.

Gullible. Definition: fooled, tricked, or deceived easily because of an overly trusting nature or naiveté Synonyms: naïve, unsuspicious, trusting, foolish, innocent.

In the northern hemisphere, they are aligned south. In the southern hemisphere they are aligned north. If you were at the equator under a satellite, they would be aligned straight up.

Exactly. And one is easily tricked or deceived if one does not pay attention to actual evidence, just believing something without evidence.

Hence all the globe evidence posted on this thread and others. The globe is not accepted as truth in spite of the evidence. To do so would be gullible. It is accepted because of the evidence.

And you're the one who has extreme difficulty coming up with evidence for a flat earth, which means you are just choosing to believe it without evidence.

 

[Strong in Him]

Thanks for the English lesson again

Why don't you take any notice, then?

If you are convinced that what you are writing is the truth you should be making it as easy as possible for people to read, and understand, your posts.
That means, writing clearly, paying attention to spelling and grammar. Ok spelling may not be your strong point, but most computers have spell check. If you are writing and you see a red, wiggly line under a word, it means your spelling is wrong.
You should also be giving evidence.
As someone has said, evidence is not a YouTube video - anyone can put anything on YouTube.
Evidence is, for example, "water freezes at a certain temperature. To demonstrate this, get an ice cube tray, fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Observe a few hours later; is the water still liquid or has it frozen?"
There is no belief involved in the above scenario. The water either freezes, or it doesn't - you have either proved, or disproved, the statement that was made.

If Flat Earth is a fact, you ought to be able to give explanations and evidence. E.g. "The earth is flat. These are the observations, studies and tests that the scientists made, and did, which caused them to arrive at that conclusion."
You have never done that, and probably can't.
All you can do is to go onto YouTube or consult Messrs Odel, Dubay and Skiba who you hope will have arguments to back up your belief, or theory.

My mistake, I could only calculate the radius of the earth if I knew the angle of your dish to the horizon and your longitude. I still probably won’t do it, but I only realized the missing measurement after thinking about it for a few minutes.

I know this & sometimes I forget to check.

Yes - Like Charles duke.

Yes & I will.

 

[Phil G]

Yes - Like Charles duke.

Charles Duke has put his personal testimony for Christ on YouTube, which includes his eyewitness testimony of being on the moon and seeing the globe earth. And he has a personal ministry dedicated to bringing the Gospel to the world. He has done more for the Gospel in the public domain than either you or me.

So you need to come up with something more than allegations of lying or telling fairy stories or taking bribes or protecting his family from harm if he told your alleged "truth".

Such allegations are not Christ-like and have no basis in truth. They are just allegations without even the slightest evidence and defame his character in a very un-Christ-like manner.

This has already been explained. The satellites are positioned above the equator, so satellite dishes in the northern hemisphere must point south, towards the equator.

Somehow the response you made was in my inbox but not on the tread. I don’t know why.

The problem is that we have to assume that we don’t know the radius of the earth. So we don’t know the cord length from your location to the equator. That leaves us with one distance (35786km) and one angle –((180 –longitude)/2)+180, which is the angle from the vertical to the satellite to the cord from the point on the equator to you, and we need a second angle or distance. We would need both the angle of your dish above the horizon and to the meridian. Then we can calculate the cord length. The cord length would equal 2* (radius of the earth)(sin longitude/2). C = 2R(sin long/2). Then solve for R and you have the radius of the earth. The meridian angle is useful, but we would need the angle to the horizon. I might add that all of the measurements would have to be more accurate than we have without some good equipment. It was a nice thing to think about. I haven’t done much geometry like that for a few years.

What are they hiding on the Moon? Super-resolution Earth telescope image processing, and photogrammetry reveal what we've all suspected all along.

This has already been explained. The satellites are positioned above the equator, so satellite dishes in the northern hemisphere must point south, towards the equator.

You mean towards Antarctica where there are giant fixed relay sat dishes, or sat dishes in the south towards the Arctic.

South on a flat earth would be anywhere you like. Because there is no south other than any direction away from north.

And that makes no sense as my dish points only in one direction to receive signals from the Astra 28.2 satellite system. Any 2° deviation from that alignment in any direction and I lose the signal.

As for the overall concept of pointing a dish towards Antarctica, why would that even be significant? It still tells me nothing about where the signals are coming from.

So where are they coming from?
