Horizon Drop: The Easiest, Most Definitive Way to Prove the Curvature of the Earth

Let me spell it out for you.

Our path around the sun, per globe theory, is that far. We would literally be 186 million miles away from our current position in 180 days from now. There is no way that Polaris would be able to remain in that stationary position during our 'journey' to the other side of the sun.

Might want to back off the mockery, you leave me tons of room for ridicule, which I will withhold.

I take no pleasure in being right, I just want what is Truth.

Let us behave as adults, and not children.

    Let's see, polaris is about 433 light years away from us. A light year is 5,878,625,373,183 miles long, so polaris is 2,545,444,800,000,000 miles away. So its position in the sky does shift when one looks at from opposite ends of earth's orbit. Its positions shifts approximately .00756 arc seconds. Hope that helps.
