Notice the elevation change on the right drawing.
Notice that the horizon line/vanishing point is also elevated.

Bigger but not HUGE, the two bodies just aren’t that different in size.

Atmospherics will have an effect on the optics. We have a lot and the moon has virtually none.

So when you see a sun/moon rise/set the source is moving
away from you in a circle overhead...just like the stars.

I'm just illustrating movement with that. There is no firmament with stars depicted.

Breathable atmosphere, not air.

The sun and moon are in our atmosphere inside of the firmament.

Well, people around here talk about how much we need to keep FR alive because we need a common sense conservative exchange forum, and yet we tolerate such non-sense. I should, like most, just ignore it, but then not pushing back against ignorance and dumbing down of society is a big part of why we are where we are today. So on a few issues, I just don’t tolerate the nonsense anymore. I’m calling stupid what it is, Stupid with a capitol S. Laughing at truly mentally retarded people is cruel. Laughing at people who ‘act’ in every way retarded can be entertaining for a while.

Live long and prosper.😜

Congrats, you are the dumbest person in the history of FR. And that’s saying something. There’s been some dumb dumbs here.

The earth round. All planets are round. And anybody that thinks otherwise doesn’t have the sense God gave dog poop.

I have wondered about CMEs for a while concerning a flat Earth. If the sun is as close as you say why does it take 3 or 4 days for a CME to get to us?

Camera angled up. It’s not parallel to the surface.
