Flat-earthers claim that they are only following what their senses tell them when they say that the earth is flat. But flat-earthers aren't looking at the whole picture and they are ignoring all evidence to the contrary; for example...
These are the phases of the moon as seen in the Northern Hemisphere:
These are the same phases of the moon as seen in the Southern Hemisphere:
Notice two things about the images above:
1) The moon appears upside down in one hemisphere as compared with the other.
2) In the Northern Hemisphere the sunlit part of the moon appears to move from right to left. In the Southern Hemisphere the sunlit part appears to move from the left to the right.
Once again, in the Northern Hemisphere the sunlit part of the moon moves from right to left, as demonstrated in this graphic:
But in the Southern Hemisphere the sunlit part moves from the left to the right, like so:
If Earth is flat, how is this possible? Flat-earthers have no answer.
If Earth is spherical, how is it possible for the moon to appear upside down in one hemisphere as compared with the other? Mainstream science has an answer. Here's a hint:
But wait! There's more! In the Northern Hemisphere, the stars appear to rotate counter-clockwise around the North Star, Polaris, as shown in this video:
But in the Southern Hemisphere, the stars appear to rotate clockwise:
In fact, you can stand near the equator in some location such as in the Central American nation of Ecuador, and look north to view the stars rotating counter-clockwise, and then you can turn around and look south to view the stars rotating clockwise. There is a website dedicated to this phenomenon. Here is the address: http://sguisard.astrosurf.com/Pagim/From_pole_to_pole.html Check it out yourself!
In summary:
1) The moon appears upside down in one hemisphere as compared with the other.
2) In the Northern Hemisphere the sunlit part of the moon appears to move from right to left. In the Southern Hemisphere the sunlit part appears to move from the left to the right.
3) In the Northern Hemisphere, the stars appear to rotate counter-clockwise around the area of the North Star, Polaris.
4) In the Southern Hemisphere, the stars appear to rotate clockwise.
NOTE: LIST OF PROOFS IS BEING CONTINUALLY UPDATED. Here are some additional proofs not included above:
5) In the northern hemisphere, the moon rises and sets from left to right. But in the southern hemisphere, the moon rises and sets from right to left.
None of this is explainable on a flat earth, but if the earth is a globe, it all makes perfect sense.
But wait, there's more! More questions flatties avoid answering, such as: If the earth is flat, what is the approximate length of the Arctic Circle and what is the approximate length of the Antarctic Circle?
Watch Dave avoid this like the plague.
