But we wouldn’t see sunrise/sunset.
Comment on Checkmate, Round Earthers 🌍
jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 month agoWell now you’re assuming the sun is spherical and gives off light in all directions.
If it were more like a flashlight, then flat earth day and night still works. So checkmate again.

A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.

Only because light bounces around.
If you do so outside, the light disappears into space.
