I got booted from chat for dropping scripture about flat earth.....
If the Moon (according to flat-earthers) supposedly is at about 3000 miles altitude and traveling along the line of the equator...that would mean it would come within 3000 miles of Ecuador when passing directly over that country.
Meanwhile, the closest this Moon would
ever get to Barrow, Alaska (a town way, way up on the northern shores of Alaska)...would be about 6400 miles.
That would mean Ecuadorians would have to see a Moon
over twice the size of what they would see in Barrow.
That ain't happen'.

And Moon over Barrow, Alaska:

There is zero difference in the size of the moon. And exactly zero people have ever testified and/or noted there was a dramatically enlarged moon, in their travels to the equator, compared to what one sees at vastly increased distances anywhere on the planet (such as Barrow).
Game over for "flat earth".
Not only that -- take a look at that moon over Barrow. The flat-earth moon is allegedly only 30 miles in diameter. The moon you see in the photo is
at LEAST 6,400 miles away. I know the camera has employed the "zoom" feature for this photo...nevertheless, looking at the Moon's diameter in this photo...is THAT what a miniscule 30 miles looks like from a distance of a full 6,400 miles plus? Give me a break. From that distance, a 30-mile diameter Moon would look not much larger than a large dot.
Game over.
Oh and another thing, we are told by flat-eathers that by the time the sun or the moon have traveled along their alleged travel path over the equator and have moved downrange 6000-7000 miles...they will have long since turned into a smaller and smaller dot and have "converged" with the horizon in an "optical illusion" sunset or moon-set. Oh really?
Then how would anyone in Barrow
EVER see the Moon (OR the sun, for that matter)...other than possibly only as a dot right on the horizon...and
only as the Moon traveled at it's absolute closest point...which is, as I have said (and done the math) right at 6,400 miles. In fact, according to flat-earth claims...Barrow citizens really would
never see the sun or moon. BUT...there it is in the photo above...big as life.
Game over. Everyone go back to your business. Nothing to see here. (LOL)
