Magnification Of The Sun/Moon Near The Horizon
Posted by Admin on 05/22/2015
When light of any kind shines through a dense medium it appears larger, or rather gives a greater glare, at a given distance than when it is seen through a lighter medium. This is more remarkable when the medium holds aqueous particles or vapor in solution, as in a damp or foggy atmosphere. You can see this by standing within a few yards of a street lamp, and noticing the size of the light; on going away to many times the distance, the light upon the atmosphere will appear considerably larger. This phenomenon may be noticed, to a greater or less degree, at all times; but when the air is moist and vapory it is more intense. It is evident that at sunrise, and at sunset, the sun's light must shine through a greater length of atmospheric air than at mid-day; besides which, the air near the earth is both more dense, and holds more watery particles in solution, than the higher strata through which the sun shines at noonday; and hence the light must be dilated or magnified, as well as modified in color. So the Sun as it sets towards the horizon, from a viewer's perspective on Earth, simultaneously gets bigger due to the reason given above, AND smaller due to the law of perspective. The net result is what you see.

Notice how the distant lights have a brighter/bigger glare even though they're further away? Here they mention many contributing factors (wavelength, difraction, air pressure, air temperature, width of aperature, altitude, humidity, clarity) all contributing to the net result. The amount/degree to which the Sun/Moon will be magnified (due to the above reasons) and shrink (due to law of perspective) will depend on all of the above. Hence why sometimes you'll see video of the Moon shrinking off into nothingness like here, and sometimes you'll see it magnified like here:



"The Moon’s warm color when seen at lower angles is caused by the relatively larger amount of of atmosphere through which one is observing it as compared to when the moon is right overhead. This additional atmosphere scatters the bluish component of the light of the moon, making the low-lying moon appear redder to the observer’s eyes. If you look later when the moon is higher above the horizon, you’ll see it appears much whiter than earlier in the evening." -ENature.com

Why are not people praising the above post by Eric?
It is without doubt a 100% proof of the Flat Earth...
FFS, it seems that people all want some kind of God acceptance, when it is in fact right before your eyes!

Interesting, the video was created by another Christpsychotic who's goal is to Create flat Earth FACTS around State Sponsored Theism (FICTION). This information is further elaborated by me in the comment section of this ODD video re-dub.
Maybe you can explain why you've returned a second time in a row, to praise Eric for a video he did not create?

Because it is an important video, the content is superb.
Forget who made it, whether he is a religious nut is irrelevant, he never mentions any religious garbage throughout the video anyway.

The trolls always ask to see a video of zooming the Sun back in as it sets to prove it's not disappearing beneath the ball Earth. Here you go:
Re: Magnification Of The Sun/Moon Near The Horizon
The reflection of the sun on the water ALONE disproves curvature. It's one of the simplest testable visible proofs, the reflection going all the way from your feet to the horizon...repeat that on a ball.Admin wrote:The trolls always ask to see a video of zooming the Sun back in as it sets to prove it's not disappearing beneath the ball Earth.

Re: Magnification Of The Sun/Moon Near The Horizon
here is a good explanation on why the sun doesn't shrink so much when it moves away from the observer.

Why Do the Sun and Moon Get Bigger Near the Horizon?
Often when globe Earthers hear that the law of perspective is the reason that ships disappear beyond the horizon, as well as the reason that the Sun and Moon rise and set in the sky, their next question is why, then, do the Sun and Moon appear to get bigger near the horizon? Understandably, a long row of streetlamps appears to rise in height until reaching overhead and then sets on the horizon, similar to the Sun and Moon, but unlike the Sun and Moon, the lampposts, boats, and most other things claimed to disappear due to perspective also shrink in size as they recede from the observer. So why, if the Sun and Moon rise and set due to the law of perspective, do they also not appear to shrink as they approach the horizon?

I agree... anyone thinking the sun may shrink is not dealing with a perspective issue, but ego... their ego are expanded! Believing only in what the eye may see will keep a person spinning in space... at least in their imagination!

Is perspective a law?

I get this question a lot. There are popular known and accepted scientific laws such as The Laws of Motion or the Law of Thermodynamics. Laws are repeatable and replicated by peers within the community. Science has always agreed experiments need to be tested and tested again and have the ability to be replicated by their peers. All with the same expected results or predictions. It must be based on experiments or observations with predicted results. The laws of motion, thermodynamics, and perspective are repeatable and replicated with experimentation or observations by other scientists. Yielding the same results or predictions. Now there’s one accepted law that is accepted outright. It has never been repeated yielding the predicted results, scientists the world over cannot replicate their finding. They all conclude with differing results. It’s the fake Law of Gravity. Never tested or repeated or replicated by scientists. The Law of Gravity on a helium balloon? Or a stretched slinky released from a rooftop. Not a law. Now there are many scientific processes that share like experiments or observations with accurate predictions yet we don’t call them laws.
