But just means it makes no sense for equatorial countries which get about the same time of sunlight all year.

Ok then. The earth axis tilts towards/away from the sun causing some surface areas to be exposed to light for longer/shorter periods of time. Happy?So it shouldn't be difficult for you to answer your own question since it's so observable. I want to see if you can put the answer in your own words.

Yes i couldI would love to see the Earth's tilt, rotation, and orbit for it to produce 24 hours of daylight in Norway, Alaska, and Iceland.
Can you show me a model that can demonstrate this phenomenon?
Yes i could
Well, don't be coy. Let's see it.
The disc shaped earth tilts.@mb23100 just out of curiosity, how would you explain long/short sunlight hours near the poles?
This actually answers my question. They simply deny reality. I was under the impression that they had a rehearsed "plausible" explanation for things.Have you ever been to the poles to confirm these so called sunlight hours?
Hey I'm not the spokesperson for the flat earth community. Dont let me interrupt this good faith discussion.This actually answers my question. They simply deny reality. I was under the impression that they had a rehearsed "plausible" explanation for things.
the earth cant be flat and not have some kind of mirrored or refractive nature along with other phenomenon in the sky dome thing because the stars in the southern hemisphere have a totally different pole around the southern crossBut just means it makes no sense for equatorial countries which get about the same time of sunlight all year.
you and the time zone guy are dumber than flat earthers because you have no concept of why the earth is round/flat you just point at something and go thats a good reason for ball earth lolWhat is that wierd looking curved shadow on the moon?

bud you dont want an actual answerThis actually answers my question. They simply deny reality. I was under the impression that they had a rehearsed "plausible" explanation for things.
Alright Einstein calm down. It was a lighthearted mock at a stupid argument. The real stupid guy is the one who thinks hes the smartest guy in the room.you and the time zone guy are dumber than flat earthers because you have no concept of why the earth is round/flat you just point at something and go thats a good reason for ball earth lol
Wait... You're not actually trying to refute the well established scientific fact that the earth is a globe that tilts on its axis, producing the variations in daylight hours... Right?At 1:30 when the presenter points to the summer position in the diagram, she isn't taking the rotation of the Earth into consideration. If the Earth were to make a 180-degree rotation based on that model's tilt, the sunlit areas would be in the shaded areas.
A person could make the case that the tilt of the Earth in the summer months is at an angle where the North pole would be almost directly aimed at the sun in order to cause the 24 hour daylight phenomenon, but the dark areas of the backside of the Earth would be so large due to shadowing that people on the lower parts of the Southern hemisphere would be complaining of 24+ hour nights...not just at the South pole.
do you even firmament, bro?Smh. The solar system is easily observable through a telescope (ive had several) by anyone. Even a pair of binoculars or the naked eye.
