    What if you're at the North Pole? Which way do you rotate it?
    What if you're in the Southern Hemisphere? What's the angle then? Negative angle?

    • @fakiirification
      @fakiirification 3 года назад

      close. The earth rotates on a predictable period that has been broken down into exactly 24 hours (give or take, it slows an imperceptible bit with each passing day, but it would take thousands of years for us to notice). Our entire concept of time is based on this periodic day cycle.

    So how does the people of the bottom of the earth 🌎 point the dial❓ should they put it in the dirt upside down 🤷🏾‍♂️

    • @Van-Leo
      @Van-Leo 3 года назад +1

      there really is no top or bottom. the north and south poles would have their dial the same ways since up and down was only decided on when maps were standardized. some countries actually use their maps upside down or with Eurasia and Oceana on the left and the Americas on the right. the dial would just have to be pointed in the opposite direction, not upside down, to cast the correct shadow for the time.

    You are not making sense. Sorry but when anyone uses a sundial they hold or place the sundial flat on the ground or a flat table. They do not hold it sideways as you say!! It would not work if you held it sideways to the ground! Why not? Because we are not on a rotating, spinning, shooting ball BUT a flat non rotating plane.

      @naturenumber5886 2 года назад

      It's not that confusing at all, is there some question about this model that you have? The flat earth model does not account for the apparent movement of the sun. In fact, the flat earth model doesn't account for very many phenomena at all.

    • @victorneely7964
      @victorneely7964 2 года назад

      It’s very confusing because we know that it doesn’t work on a globe. The sun moves over our flat plain in a circle causing the shadows. With LIES explanations brome convoluted and confusing . TRUTH has nothing to hide snd is very EASY to understand.
