32 minutes, calculated from the center of the earth, and extended beyond the earth increases beyond 32 nm, continually increasing in size, the further you get away from the earth. Simple geometry.

Who is saying that the sextant doesn't measure the sun? It can even measure other stars that are much farther away. But because of its limitations, the sextant can't tell how far they are away, or how far the sun is away. This doesn't mean that the sextant doesn't measure the sun. But it DOES mean that you don't measure straight up at 90 degrees. Rather, you measure straight up at zero degrees. When measuring an overhead sun, 90 degrees shows you a position slightly above the horizon. Your calc that tells us how you think a sextant measure the sun is incomplete and incorrect. All the sextant tells us is the angle. If the sun were 93 million light years away, and were the corresponding diameter (a light year to a mile), it would appear almost the same as it does. You are sadly mixed up, or criminally trolling.

^^^ You've proven yourself a liar by claiming that you can't take a reading of the Sun at 90 degrees when the sextant is marked with at least 120 degrees.
The ratio of 1 minute to 1 nautical mile is proven, the Sun's diameter is measured directly (32 minutes), and the Sun's distance is computed (3440 nautical miles); the Copernican model is falsified beyond any reasonable doubt.

So is anything that is measured directly and its 32 minutes also 3440 nautical miles wide?

First comment in here but i dont think this topic really helpful because Earth of course isn't Flat.

Guys, how I adore you. Already 15563 comments in this thread. I have not visited this topic for almost 2 years and thought that the disputes regarding this issue have already been resolved, but I see that the conflict regarding the shape of our planet or the plane of the Earth does grow more and more. I heard that recently China announced new programs about building a new settlement on the moon. I think this news is like a nuclear bomb. By the way, North Koreans seriously think that their cores are born in space.

I wonder how close you can get to directly under the center of the Space Needle, and still see the restaurant on top? How wide is the restaurant? notbatman should be able to get close enough to prove it is at least several hundred miles in diameter.

So far notbatman comes close at times to seeing how far off he is. Then, in a spirit of faith, he turns back to what he wants to believe... more like a cult than a religion.

Eratosthenes proved the Earth is flat. ... 1. Measure the Sun with a sextant (use a marine sextant as it has the welding glass for looking at the Sun) at sunrise or sunset when the Sun is 50% visible i.e. 0 degrees elevation. The result will be 16 minutes. This is the Sun's refracted size and it can very slightly based on weather conditions. I believe this type of refractive magnification is also called looming.
2. Calculate the Sun's un-refracted size at 0 degrees elevation based on the angular size limitation of the human eye (1 minute). The result is unsurprisingly, 1 minute as there is in fact no calculation involved.
3. Calculate the distance to he horizon through the atmospheric plane with a 1 foot eye elevation. The result is unsurprisingly, 1 nautical mile. The angular limit of the eye being 1 minute equates to being able to see a 1 foot object at a maximum distance of 1/2 nautical miles.
4. Measure the Sun at 90 degrees elevation with no refraction. The result is 32 minutes.
5. Use a right angle trigonometry calculator and enter the Sun's radius in nautical miles (16) and an angle from one side (59.73333). The result is a distance of 3440 nautical miles. We know the Sun's radius in nautical miles because we proved 1 minute equals 1 nautical mile with the calculation in step #3.
That's it, proof beyond a reasonable doubt the Sun is a close small object.

Well after 779 pages of FE nonsense, at least you got that right. ..... This was before I discovered the firmament (dome) and the inconsolable fact that somebody had to have built it. ....

^^^ You guys are trying to frame an argument of somebody born into '''religious dogma''', that can't give up an emotional faith in something that's not based on fact, logic and reason. Your tired Piccard (a sci-fi character based on Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard) meme is not an argument. I can show pieces of manufactured steel that fall out of the sky, I can show that curved ranbows can't form without a curved mirror, I can even produce a photograph (all-be-it less than definitive) of the dome from an exploration of the Antarctic region before the Antarctic Treaty System was put in place. If pieces of steel fall out of the sky on a regular basis, you'd think one might get a fucking clue that the sky is made out of metal? The Bible describes the construction of a dome (firmament) over Earth by giants (Titans). Science has lead me to God.

You can show all kinds of things, but you won't. So, until you do, you don't have anything worthwhile. You can go out to almost any piece of land, but especially to a flat piece of land, or to a calm ocean in a boat away from land, and see a dome of a sky. Why? Because that's the way our eyes interpret what we see. Not because a dome is really what is there. Bonus: View from the fairing during the SpaceX Falcon Heavy STP-2 mission

What kind of expertise do you have to prove those pieces of steel are manufactured? Where does the bible describe a dome made by titans? The bible says god made everything not giants, are you sure you are reading the right bible?

^^^ Modern "satellite" dishes use what's called troposcatter technology developed by the US military; a signal is transmitted from radio towers then bounced off of the troposphereic plane and received by the dish antenna.
"Moon bounce" (Moon not actually required) is when a signal (usually laser light) is bounced off of the dome (firmament).

Except that there is no need for troposcatter on a FE. It was developed to get around the curvature.
