^^^ One method to calculate the height of the Sun:

α = angle of elevation at P
β = angle of elevation at N
d = distance between points P and N
h = heigh

h = (d * tan β * tan α) / (tan β - tan α)

Trapeze artists you fucking cuck.

^^^ The math nasa provides assumes a heliocentric spinning ball model of earth. A direct measurement with a sextant assumes nothing and isn't even possible if the heliocentric model was true.

You a gullible idiot or a liar spewing garbage information cooked up by nasa from a credit reporting agency run out of a garage. Nasa, you know the clown faggots who landed a cardboard box wrapped in xmas paper on the moon.

Vod's "source" for his distance to the Sun.

@badecker,

   Did you know that you're the only other person I've seen that understands the difference between "angular size" and "apparent size"? It's really a shame you're batting for the wrong team here and place the center of the great circle in a globe and not at the horizon as seen by the human eye.

I keep cringing every time I hear a flat earther refer to apparent visual size as "angular size". Understanding that "angular size" is a fixed value whose great circle is based on a planar horizon as seen by the human eye is paramount. The mental gymnastic involved with making this value (that can be measured directly with a sextant) work by replacing the human eye with a globe earth is actually outstanding.

I want to be very clear here because once you understand how the constant value of "angular size" works, it becomes obvious what absolutely undeniable proof the earth is flat the sextant and its ability to directly measure this value is.

"apparent size" = the angle between you and two sides of an object. [This value is a variable and changes as the distance between you and the object changes.]

"angular size" = the angle between the horizon and two sides of an object. [This value is a constant and does not change as the distance between you and the object changes.]

@nutildah,

   The Sun is directly measured to be 32 minutes in diameter; 1 minute = 1 mile. Plane trigonometry can be used to calculate the height of the Sun at about 3,000 miles.

Here's a repeatable experiment using a mirror and line of sight that anybody can do to prove that water, and thus the earth is flat.

Thanks for the misinformation, gaslighting, concern trolling and of course the virus link but,

 perspective and convergence on plane combined with atmospheric effects explain the observations of ships at sea. The sextant, a navigational tool used for millennia by sailors measures angles on a plane, and with plane trigonometry distances are calculated with it; one minute equals one mile. Using telescopes and zoom lenses it becomes apparent that we see too far for a globe and ships, that should be hidden under curved water are visible rising up to eye level in front of the viewer. The horizon is flat and rises to eye level, this is all consistent with perspective and convergence on a plane.

All the facts, observations, measurements and evidence points to earth being a stationary plane and there being a massive conspiracy by organized crime to trick you, not just about where you live but a conspiracy to turn the entire knowledge of mankind into nothing but deceit and lies to be exploited exclusively by them.

FTFY

A precision desktop gyroscope (mechanical) remains motionless and does not react when the claim is that it rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours. Is that shreddy enough for you?

An earth that is both flat and stationary, this can be proven with experimental evidence via direct measurement and observation. The satanic law of reversal and inversion is at play here again as Vod attempts to gaslight the facts; anybody with a sextant and the ability to perform plane trigonometry can measure the sun, this has been performed thousands of times, the (((scientific community))) is involved in a massive coverup and, that the sextant measures angles between two objects (one being primary the horizon) is well documented.

^^^ the sextant measures angles on a plane and sun's diameter is measured at 32 minutes; 1 minute = 1 mile. No amount of "b-but muh starz" can change this fact.

^^^ adds complexity and ambiguity to his argument

^^^ The margin of error caused by atmospheric refraction and distortion with stellar parallax measurements is significantly larger than the measurement being made, you never stop being full of shit do you? This is the exact opposite of the margin of error involved with a sextant measuring the diameter of the sun, your attempted application of satanic law of inversion and reversal is exposed.

^^^ The fact autogyro service has been superseded by modern forms of transport doesn't mean it can't get you there. Your logical fallacies mixed with blatantly false information is straight up gaslight. A sextant directly measures angles on a plane and the sun measures 32 minutes in diameter.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines natural flavor as: "... meat ...". -- https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22

Accurate enough to prove the earth is flat.

Your pipul (a complex and advanced form of gaslighting), in this case using a logical fallacy is showing; I'm not the one that does the replication. You ask for repeatable experimental proof and I gave you repeatable (documented) experimental proof.

Also you quoted the wrong point you absolute buffoon, you competency as a shill is seriously in doubt here.



Here's an image of a sextant on a plane:


^{IMAGE SOURCE: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/17178/do-pilots-need-to-know-how-to-use-a-sextant}

With a stationary plane I'm making two observations:

1. The earth is not in motion, this is directly observed with a precision desktop gyroscope (mechanical). The gyroscope remains motionless when the claim is that it rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours.

2. The earth is a plane, this is directly observed with sextant. The sextant measures angles on plane and measurements taken can be repeatedly confirmed via other means. Confirmation of the planar model can be made by measuring the sun at 32 minutes.

Every so-called proof of the globe is same shit as the fisheye lens, we are on a stationary plane.

What's wrong with telling sombody who is "concern trolling" to go help themselves with a rusty piano wire around their neck? Seems reasonable enough to me.

When you say wrong do you mean wrong like when you posted an image from a wide angle GoPro camera attached to a balloon and, claimed the barrel distortion was earth curvature? You and your army of shills and useless gullible idiots argued it was earth curve for three pages before the subject changed in spite of the fact I proved the image was taken with a fisheye lens.

BTW here's that post where I prove beyond a reasonable doubt a fisheye lens was used:


Sombody has gone full retard, guess who?

^^^ A football field is 328 feet long, it's also flat. Your double digit IQ is also showing. I'm describing an experiment not making any claims, this is the opposite of assumption. I think you're a Satanic twat well aware of the Satanic law of reversal and inversion when applying your pipul however.

Reducing the length by 2/3 useing a basketball court then making claims based on the new much shorter length would be dishonest when attempting replication of events photographed on a football field.

Simple fact is you're all dishonest liars and gullible retards who will never agree to the truth, you should all be stuffed in gas chambers.

This (perspective) is the same exact shit as the fisheye lens just a different pile, all of you need to answer for your deceit.
