Is the Earth round or flat?

1. The horizon is always perfectly flat (unless in NASA or other Globalist Organizations) not matter what altitude you achieve. 2. If the earth was a spinning ball traveling through space then you should be able to hover in a helicopter and wait for your destination to come to you. This DOESN’T happen therefore the earth is not in fact “round” 3.

Why do some people believe the Earth is flat?

Why do some people believe the Earth is flat? Although scientific evidence says the Earth is a sphere orbiting the Sun, there are some people around who still think our planet is flat… and social media plays a role. By Anders Furze, University of Melbourne.

What is the flat Earth Society?

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat. Walking around on the planet’s surface, it looks and feels flat, so they deem all evidence to the contrary, such as satellite photos of Earth as a sphere, to be fabrications of a “round Earth conspiracy” orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.

Do flat-Earthers believe these conspiracy theories?

Then, there’s the conspiracy theory: Flat-earthers believe photos of the globe are photoshopped; GPS devices are rigged to make airplane pilots think they are flying in straight lines around a sphere when they are actually flying in circles above a disc.

A blind physicist who never heard any evidence of the Earth being round could calculate (using the size and mass of Earth) that gravity will make the Earth approximately spherical. Now, just to round out this article, I should point out the main reason why solar system objects deviate from precise spheres: They’re rotating (spinning).

Why does the Bible say the Earth is round?

The Bible says the earth is round, showing that its authors were inspired to understand science beyond their time. Source: Morris, Henry M., 1986. Science and the Bible. Chicago: Moody Press, pp. 13-14. Jeffrey, Grant R., 1996.

How did ancient astronomers determine that the Earth is round?

Ancient astronomers could determine that the earth was round by observing its circular shadow move across the moon during lunar eclipses. There is some suggestion that the Egyptians knew of the earth’s spherical size and shape around 2550 B.C. (more than a thousand years before Moses).

What is the circumference of the Earth around the equator?

Measured around the Equator, it is 40,075.017 km (24,901.461 mi). Measured around the poles, the circumference is 40,007.863 km (24,859.734 mi). Measurement of Earth’s circumference has been important to navigation since ancient times.

Of course, it actually is quite round: a near-perfect sphere, to better than 99\% precision. If you leave Earth’s surface, it’s impossible not to see the true shape of the Earth, as it’s been unavoidable since we first traveled high enough to observe our planet’s curvature.

What would happen if the Earth were flat?

If the Earth were flat, everyone on the night side of the Earth would see the same sky; this is another observation that the flat Earth can’t account for. The method of Biruni for calculating the Earth’s circumference. Note that if the Earth were flat, [+]

What would happen if the earth’s surface was curved?

But if the Earth’s surface were curved (bottom), shadows at different locations would cast different shadows on the same day, depending on the angle that the Sun’s rays struck the object in question. If we go even further, a flat Earth would have the same angle, and therefore the same season, everywhere.

Do the “proofs” that the Earth is flat actually prove it?

So in this section we will analyze the proofs they provide and try to ascertain if they actually prove the earth is flat or not. In reality some of the “proofs” that the earth is flat given by the flat earthers are not valid and some of these are outrageously and obviously incorrect.
