And also the path of the solar analemma shows the Sun is circling over and around us, while slowing moving Northwards to the Tropic of Cancer for 6 months, then Southwards back to the Tropic of Capricorn for 6 months. The general alignment of the land masses fits with the circle FE map and not the horizontal Mercator map, and Antarctica is a circular ice barrier. For all of these reasons the circular map is the best approximation/visualization. As for the ultimate shape of Earth beyond the Antarctic, that is still to be found out.

There are several photographs of Washington's Mount Rainier at sunrise and sunset showing what appears to be clouds lit from underneath casting the mountain's shadow upwards. Globe believers often cite these photographs as proof that the Sun must be physically beneath the cloud cover to cause this effect, and that therefore the Earth is confirmed globular because in the flat Earth model the Sun never physically drops beneath the horizon. At first glance this may seem a reasonable assumption, but further investigation into the phenomenon reveals otherwise...

A globe fanatic send me that.. like is some kind of proof
The typical nonsense, ridicule, marginalize, and misrepresent flat earth and real flat earthers. A real land surveyor was my brothers friend and tried telling me when i was brainwashed that he didn't measure enough curvature for the the earth to be a ball. He didn't say anything about flat earth he simply told me doing his job he never encountered enough curvature.
Another guy tells me his uncle is a Geological engineer and he has to take into account the curvature

First, I should clarify that "radar horizon" is the term used to describe the distance of radar beam to the earths horizon. Once the radar is beyond the horizon, a term called "distance to target" is used, instead of "radar horizon". Now, anything below the radar beam is considered below the earths horizon (beyond the curve), according to experts, and this area is considered "radar shadow".
Here is what I can come up with after a days worth of research and critical thinking:
"Radar horizon" is determined by the radar's power output capability & the atmospheric conditions it is in: however; anti-flat earther's will claim that it is the earth's horizon that dictates the maximum distance of surface radar. This just isn't true... Surface radar is capable of reaching 50 miles for military grade hardware. And according to supposed ball earth trig., that is over 1,666 feet below the "curve". This fact alone is enough to prove the earth is flat.
Now, the statement that "radar shadow" occurs beyond the earth's curvature is just a theory. To say that ships are able to "hide" behind the curve in the "radar shadow" is simply a myth, based on the assumption that earth is a globe.
The next argument of globe earther's is that they claim that if the earth is flat, then surface radar would be able to "see" infinitely far distances. Also not true, because the determining factor for a radar's capable distance is based on it's power output and the atmospheric conditions. Therefore debunking the claim that radar would be able to see forever.
You must also understand, that since a portion of a radar beam, one that is aimed at the earth's horizon, means that due to beam "spread", a portion of the beam will always be in contact with the waters surface. And, since bodies of water do not reflect radar beam, and can be seen as "radar shadow", proves that it is possible on a flat earth.

This week, Dude Perfect, a YouTube channel famous for making sports trick-shot compilations has performed their ultimate trick-shot by going 200,000 feet high in a rocket, free-falling within the capsule, and filming the Earth with a fish-eye lens. Globe defenders around the world are shouting from their keyboards claiming this as proof Earth is a spinning ball when in fact it is simply proof of the gullibility of the malleable masses.

Radar on a level plane

Astronomical Violations of Perspective was an essay published in The Earth Review magazine October, 1893 by flat earther Albert Smith detailing the law of perspective and debunking the popular globe-Earth proof of ships disappearing beyond the horizon.

Something most globe believers are shocked to learn is that so-called "flat earthers" like myself actually agree that the Earth is not flat...
