I have a few questions...

[FlatEarth]

In what direction is the Earth "spinning at 1053MPH?"

[Muck FcDisney]

In what direction is the Earth "spinning at 1053MPH?"

Maybe things are different in flat earth land, but 1=/= "a few".

[FlatEarth]

[Muck FcDisney]

In what direction is the Earth "spinning at 1053MPH?"

That depends.

[FlatEarth]

In what direction is the Earth "spinning at 1053MPH?" Clockwise or counterclockwise?

[ScotchFrost97]

one would have to define "spinning", because in a zandrophynous universe where tangent infinalities are quantamized, the abject term relevates different meanings

[Citronauts_Knights]

In relation to what reference point?

[FlatEarth]

It's Axis.

Can we all agree based on what our indoctrinated science has "taught" us that the Earth, if what they say is true, is spinning counterclockwise on it's axis, correct?

Now. Based on those same teachings, how long does it take for the moon to circle the Earth and which direction is it moving around us?

[Muck FcDisney]

In relation to what reference point?

Let's assume the top is the north pole and the bottom is the "impenetrable ice wall guarded by NASA, IMF, and Satan Caus".

from below: clockwise
from above: counter-clockwise
from the middle: left to right

Also, God is right-handed. This is why lefties are da debil and must be exterminated.

Fascinating stuff.

That's still not enough info. You can still comprehend three dimensions, right?

Again, depends on reference point.

Now. Based on those same teachings, how long does it take for the moon to circle the Earth and which direction is it moving around us?

Roughly 27.3 days. Prograde (same direction as earth's rotation). And AGAIN, a reference point is needed to determine if you want to call this clockwise, counter-clockwise, or something else.


Also should be noted that earth spins roughly 1000 mph at the equator. It's slower toward the poles, for reasons that hopefully won't need to be explained. :facepalm I have an odd feeling this might come up later...

[FlatEarth]

Then how the fuck is the is the eclipse on August 21st 2017 starting on the west coast and moving east if we're spinning counterclockwise so much faster than the moon is rotating around us?

:bolt

Then how the fuck is the is the eclipse on August 21st 2017 starting on the west coast and moving east if we're spinning counterclockwise so much faster than the moon is rotating around us?

:bolt

Because the Moon moves to the east in its orbit at about 3,400 km/hour. Earth rotates to the east at 1,670 km/hr at the equator, so the lunar shadow moves to the east at 3,400 – 1,670 = 1,730 km/hr near the equator.

Or you can just stick with the flat earth era explanations! :lolthumb

Hungry Demons, Thieving Dogs
In Vietnam, people believed that a solar eclipse was caused by a giant frog devouring the Sun, while Norse cultures blamed wolves for eating the Sun.

In ancient China, a celestial dragon was thought to lunch on the Sun, causing a solar eclipse. In fact, the Chinese word of an eclipse, chih or shih, means to eat.

According to ancient Hindu mythology, the deity Rahu is beheaded by the gods for capturing and drinking Amrita, the gods' nectar. Rahu's head flies off into the sky and swallows the Sun causing an eclipse.

Korean folklore offers another ancient explanation for solar eclipses. It suggests that solar eclipses happen because mythical dogs are trying to steal the Sun.

Traditionally, people in many cultures get together to bang pots and pans and make loud noises during a solar eclipse. It is thought that making a noise scares the demon causing the eclipse away.

Native American Solar Eclipse Myths and Legends
The Pomo, an indigenous group of people who live in the northwestern United States, tell a story of a bear who started a fight with the Sun and took a bite out of it. In fact, the Pomo name for a solar eclipse is Sun got bit by a bear.

After taking a bite of the Sun and resolving their conflict, the bear, as the story goes, went on to meet the Moon and take a bite out of the Moon as well, causing a lunar eclipse. This story may have been their way of explaining why a solar eclipse happens about around 2 weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.

Angry Sun
The ancient Greeks believed that a solar eclipse was a sign of angry gods and that it was the beginning of disasters and destruction.

How superstition influenced the course of history
The Tewa tribe from New Mexico in the United States believed that a solar eclipse signaled an angry Sun who had left the skies to go to his house in the underworld.

Quarreling Sun and Moon
According to Inuit folklore, the Sun goddess Malina walked away after a fight with the Moon god Anningan. A solar eclipse happened when Anningan managed to catch up with his sister.

The Batammaliba, who live in Benin and Togo, used a solar eclipse as a teaching moment. According to their legends, an eclipse of the Sun meant that the Sun and the Moon were fighting and that the only way to stop them from hurting each other was for people on Earth to resolve all conflicts with each other.



These make more sense, right? :ROFL2

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Did you even think / comprehend your own explanation? Reread that shit and see how that makes ANY sense.

I see you're a retard too...

Let me simplify his post for you as he didn't think about it before spewing the nonsense and obviously you're too stupid to think judging by your response.

He is saying that because the moon is moving at 3,683KM/hr which is faster than the earths rotation at the equator then obviously that explains the west to east eclipse path, right? Wrong...

The moon is supposedly moving at 3,683KM/hr, HOWEVER, the damn thing supposedly travels 1,423,000 miles. Therefore, it's incorrect and really retarded when you think about the response and still doesn't offer a reason as to why the path is what it is.

Try again, fuck faces... :facepalm

[JdPat04]

The only retard is the one who claims the moon is see through.

Claims we haven't been to space AT ALL. No sattelites, NOTHING.

Claims there is an ice wall like Game of Thrones

Claims all of our governments, and all of the governments space agencies are all in on it and yet NOBODY has ever leaked the truth.


Claims that you can't see the ISS with a fucking telescope

:facepalm

[FlatEarth]

:iwaf

Don't forget that the moon is its own light and does not "reflect" the suns light.

[bigbluebazooka]

In what direction is the Earth "spinning at 1053MPH?"

:thought Thought you had a few questions?
