Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

If I try to make you land on a large spinning ball, you will fly off because of
the friction.

It will work if you first bring Dino246 up to the speed of the spinning ball's
rotation.

That there explains how aircraft can land on a spinning Earth and rovers can
land on a spinning Mars.

Even when a plane is parked at the airport, it isn't entirely motionless. It's
riding along on the Earth's surface like a cowboy in the saddle of a galloping
quarter horse. The cowboy appears to be motionless 'cause he's just sitting
there; nevertheless he'll easily stay on the pony no matter how fast it
runs because they're bound together.

In which direction are you referring to.

If you pour water on a spinning ball, you will never again believe that a plane can land on a spinning ball.

Perhaps you haven't done any air travel & you like playing with your balls. I'll stick with what I know to be true since I've landed
on the God-created revolving Earth numerous times.

Please, keep displaying your complete ignorance on this subject. I appreciate the entertainment.

The reason planes can land is because the earth is not moving.

An ordinary ball doesn't have enough gravity to keep the water in place.

BTW: Prior to pouring the water, first position its container in an orbit
around the ball equal to its rotational velocity. That way the ball and the
water will both be moving in the same direction at the same speed; and the
ball will have a better chance of staying wet even without gravity to assist.

Lucy is an extra-terrestial alien from outer space!

So how do planes land on a moving aircraft carrier?

Or do you deny the existence of those too?

The plane lands on an aircraft carrier the same exact way it lands on the flat earth.

But a Rainbow is a bow/arc shape. Explain that.

If the earth is flat, why arent rainbows straight? . Like a rainband.

Antarctica is a donut!

I was right, the moon is made of cheese!

 

[Lanolin]

so what about middle earth?

It's sad that you think you're witty....

You claim that a plane cannot land on a moving earth, but it can land on a moving carrier. Your illogic isn't even internally consistent.

That you think an arc is the same shape as a dome speaks to your general understanding of both geometry and physics.

Or, rather, lack of understanding.

Or, in an Auzzie accent:

The rine in spine falls minely in the pline.

 

[GaryA]

The rain in spain falls mainly on the plane.

Would that be - before takeoff - during flight - after landing - or, all-of-the-above...?

Does the rain follow the plane wherever it goes?

I truly believe that there is presently a detrimentally serious amount of cognitive dissonance - which is afflicting many...
