Ill pre-empt any logical explanation you will try:
he shows that perspective will not splay out things that are oriented perpendicular to your plane,
The other explanation say that light rays diverge because of the atmosphere and the debate is whether the atmosphere in the Helio Model is
1. )( = Concave
2. () = Convex
but I think it mostly resemble what is called a meniscus or (( <------like that
So from wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(optics)Convex-concave (meniscus) lenses can be either positive or negative, depending on the relative curvatures of the two surfaces. A negative meniscus lens has a steeper concave surface and is thinner at the centre than at the periphery. Conversely, a positive meniscus lens has a steeper convex surface and is thicker at the centre than at the periphery. An ideal thin lens with "two surfaces of equal curvature" would have zero optical power, meaning that
it would neither converge nor diverge light.If the sun is really 93 million miles away and light rays arrive on Earth completely parallel, and you dont have perspective or light refraction to explain how light rays are divergent:
Sun worship busted yet again.
