Is the earth spherical or flat? Airlines tell us the answer

[@dkittrell617]

All the flights from santiago to Sydney have at least one stop there are no non stop flights between those 2 cities. The stops are in los Angeles based on a flat earth map it's easy to see why. On a flat earth map los Angeles is roughly halfway between santiago and Sydney. Flights don't go over the pacific ocean non stop they ALL follow the flat earth route.

About 2 years ago a flight from tokyo to los Angeles had to make an emergency landing in Alaska on a flat earth map it's easy to see why because the flight route goes over alaska from tokyo to los Angeles. On a globe that flight route would be thousands of unnecessary miles out the way.

[@AndrewGatt]

On a globe, it's just as easy to explain. Here's the straight line path on a globe between Los Angeles and Tokyo, along with a straight line connecting Los Angeles and Cold Bay, Alaska, where some trans-Pacific flights land in emergencies. i.ibb.co/tcqnNW5/Capture-2021-03-09-04-07-08.png As you can see, there's no better option in an emergency than landing in southwest Alaska.

Judging by the three videos you've posted to KZbin, I'm going to guess that you live in Tanzania. Since you live so close to the equator, all you need to do is keep track of where the sun is in the sky for a whole day and you'll see that it rises in one direction, appears to go straight up to nearly overhead and then straight down in the opposite direction. How can you explain that if you believe that the sun travels in a horizontal circle above a disk even though your eyes tell you that it moves in a vertically oriented circle? Honestly, I can understand how people 4000 years ago believed that we lived on a flat disk and that the sun went under the disk at night, but how can you explain it now, knowing that it's always noon somewhere on the planet? Keep in mind that the apparent size of the sun in the sky does not change during the day. Surely on a flat earth, the sun would be closer to you at noon and would appear larger in the sky, right? None of it makes sense.

552 / 5000 Resultados de tradução friend you did not refute anything your doubt is very simple to resolve, you must have more study at last about planes in the case for commercial and continental flights and also intercontinental ones, in short they do not have the same speed capacity, that is, as a commercial there are 900 to 100km per hour already others can reach 7000km per hour this I refute your video and I think it should be humility to study what I say and see that in this cyst you made a mistake without cursing and yes exchange of knowledge repeating this does not refute on the flat land!

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that they use planes that fly twice as fast when they fly in the Southern Hemisphere, compared to planes in the Northern Hemisphere? If that were the case, an airline could be the speed champion and fly transatlantic flights in half the current time and get a much larger share of the customers. Why wouldn't they do that? Do you have any evidence of that, besides the fact that you want it to be true?

[@COVIDpanic]

@@AndrewGatt I'll get my Dad on this one...he explained that the wind speed and air speed are comparable to resistance and lag. The plane speed is set to the destination for time, not for distance traveled over time. Speed is not a constant on flights because of air turbulence and weather patterns and storms. Planes speed up and slow down over the flight. He said it is another reason for arrival delays. Taxiing in the sky is a big issue for the delayed flight arrivals. Cousin, the commercial pilot says, flights going east are traveling into tomorrow and the westward travel is flying into yesterday ...wait I think he may have been kidding around. Yeh he was - kinda he said. Time travel is only possible in that instance when your plane crosses into a different time zone moving your time ahead or back an hour or so. Remember the concord? It flew supersonic and passengers usually got to their destination before they left. Unless they traveled the other direction in which case they arrived about the same time as a commercial plane, but the distance they traveled in the concord is much greater. I'm all over the place in this response - I took a minute to call my cousin, took time to talk to my Dad. and I spent half and hour piecing this together. - did I lose you?

[@AndrewGatt]

@@COVIDpanic Of course planes fly at different speeds and winds can affect it. That's still not enough to explain the huge speed differences you would need to explain the travel times for the two round-the-world flights that I highlight in the video. Travel time for the southern route should be at least twice as long according the flat earth fantasy. Your explanation of time zones and time travel are very misleading.

[@bluesteel5841]

earth is a globe, aircraft need to pitch down in order to maintain a constant altitude. So, for example, if an airplane makes a flight which covers a 15 degree arc across the earth's surface (which is a distance of about a thousand miles), then the airplane will need to pitch down by 15 degrees over the course of the flight. However, in order to accomplish this, pilots don't "drop the nose of the plane every couple of minutes". Instead, they watch the altimeter, and raise or lower the nose as needed to maintain a constant altitude, or to climb or descend as necessary. (Or they set the autopilot to do the same thing.) This means that they're adjusting the plane's pitch every couple of seconds, and the adjustments that they use to maintain altitude are much, much larger than the adjustments that would be needed to merely match the curvature of the earth.

[@fisherman4809]

All they do is lift up to maintain altitude liar

[@AndrewGatt]

You can prove curvature of the earth by flying in a rocket into space. If you have a problem with NASA, you can see images from any of the satellites from the twelve countries that have launched them (USSR, USA, France, Japan, China, UK, India, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran and North Korea) and one regional organization (the European Space Agency, ESA). You can follow the location of the International Space Station and spot it overhead when the conditions are right (i.e. not the middle of the day when the sky is too bright or the middle of the night when the ISS is in the shadow of the earth, when it passes over your location). See its current location here: www.heavens-above.com/ Its path would not make sense if the earth were flat. It would also take an incredible amount of fuel to keep it moving at 17,000 mph (27,000 km/hr), day after day, year after year. Maybe you would prefer to see images from further away. Images from GOES satellites are updated at least daily. www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/fulldisk.php?sat=G16 You do rely on weather forecasts, don't you? How do you think NOAA can update satellite images many times per day? Look up geosynchronous orbits. You want a 100% accurate map of the earth? You should download Google Earth. Directions and distances between locations are all very accurate. If they weren't, a flat earth believer would be able to find instances where they were wrong. You want gas pressure next to a vacuum? That's not how gases and gravity work. Go to the top of any high mountain and hike around for a while. You'll be able tell that the air pressure is lower without even measuring it. You'll get out of breath quicker than at sea level. Go to the top of Mount Everest (5.5 miles above sea level) and you'll die without supplemental oxygen. Go up in an airplane and insist on opening the window when you get to cruising altitude. Don't let the flight attendants try to talk you out of it. Let me know how that goes. As you go up higher and higher, the air pressure decreases very gradually. The ISS orbits at a height of about 260 miles (420 km), or 47 times higher than the top of Mount Everest. Even at that height it is not a perfect vacuum. That's why the ISS has to burn some fuel to boost its altitude a few times each year. www.heavens-above.com/IssHeight.aspx I hope this answers some of your questions. You can find out more online if you look in the right places.
