Why don't you give me something difficult?
....The declination of the pole star? The "North Star" aka Polaris is situated directly above the north pole and is stationary. The sun, moon and stars are on a path that is concentric to Polaris. Polaris is closer to the earth than the distance from Australia to the north pole so it reaches a vanishing point this also explains sunsets and sunrises. I guess you have never watched a flock of migrating birds until they fly out of sight? Their altitude doesn't change they just reach a vanishing point you mental midget. Crepuscular sun rays. The sun's rays angle out of the clouds during a sun burst because it's not 93 million miles away. It creates a hot spot on top of the clouds. If it was 93 million miles away the sun rays would be vertical and there would be no hot spot. Yet more proof the sun is close to earth. Dummy.
OOPS... I mean psychologically vulnerable.
@Stealthstyle You believe the earth's shadows are responsible for the moon phases? And look who clicked like. My God. No wonder you Globetards believe in phony space missions. You morons have absolutely zero business in a science & technology thread. LOL and you call me retarded? LMAO !!!
