I'm not an expert i don't have the facts of the sun like it's measurements along with the earth's. How would one even obtain this information? We woulnd't unless were told by some goverment operation who "figured" it out with our tax dollars


:rofl:

no hope for you, my friend.

Not sure why your asking me questions about fuel consumption and time.
There is a conspiracy that i have not looked into that planes run on compressed air as opposed to fuel
Maybe that would explain it, don't forget my question too bud
Why don't planes constantly dip their nose down to accommodate the curve?


They just load a lot of kerosene because they love the risk?

Planes to somewhat 'dip their nose' when flying, as they follow air pressure gradients. As the pressure levels follow the same curvature as the Earth, so do the pilots.

(ok here's the experiment)
reason I'm asking I took a basic mini maglite and took off the bezel to put in in candle mode

something like


The bulb is about 2mm thick
I shone it on a 4m circular floor (2000 times larger in diameter ) and light always lit the entire floor no matter how high or low I held it
As I said before, the light was not as bright on the opposite end but still reached there

I'm sure there is some science behind it like how far light waves can travel relative to it's size and brightness
All variables must be accounted for when doing an experiment, the moon is also it's own light source

So our Sun is so ineffcient it cannot light a surface much smaller than itself, but a flashlight could light an entire room?

The moon emits its own non-visible infrared light, so you can’t really consider it being ‘its own light source’ in terms of visibility.

How is the moons light non visible? i can see it just fine and you can record the temperature of the moons light which is colder than the sun

You're comparing 2 totally different variables in this experiment. It's not an accurate experiment

You can see the moon because it reflects sunlight. You can’t measure the ‘temperature of the moon light’. You can measure the surface temperature and it’s obviously going to be colder than the Sun, what’s your point?

How does the Sun function in your model? Can you describe your model? Do you even have a model?

The suns light does not reflect off moon, it's an independent light source

What variables?

ok Chivas agrees with that, Card does not

The question there is how?

That is incorrect. Can you provide evidence that the moon emits its own VISIBLE light?
