Go back to post #6398 and watch the vid (only 4 mins long)....it explains WHY the sun does not appear to get smaller SOMETIMES, and other times the sun appears to be getting smaller.
The explanation given is not directly related to perspective though. I would prefer if you got back to this subject.
You say you understand that objects appear smaller the further away and eventually converge and meet at the vanishing point. Now focus on that horizon line, not the objects disappearing or converging.
What is the line trying to show you? In order to finally understand it, YOU the viewer must rise up and down while focusing on that horizon line (in real life, not just moving an image up and down in front of ur face).
ok so according to the vid
The atmosphere (due to the high content of water) is acting like a lens magnifying the view of sun which will prevent it appearing smaller as it moves further away
the sun is also below the dome according to you at 3000 miles above us
before i continue, Am I correct in your beliefs so far?
Also am I correct the the dome touches the Ice wall around the flat earth model in a half sphere shape
eg: you gave the earth to have a diameter of 7917.5 miles. So the height of the dome above the center of the FE is just under 4000 miles, Correct?
