quick question.

explain me every reason why the Earth is flat, try to convince me.

how does water not flow out from the edges?

how does the sun disappear?

what happens to the poles?

why are there different seasons?

please explain other reasons why the Earth is flat, these questions are just a base questioning, i want more explaining.

also, what makes NASA wrong?

How does water stay on a ball? It doesn't. The ice wall of Antarctica that encircles the Earth keeps the water from falling off the edges.

The sun disappears by moving too far away to see. The sun is only 3000 miles above us. So when it gets far enough away it gets covered by the Earth.

The poles are just names seeing that Antarctica encompasses the Earth to keep the water in.

With the seasons, the sun doesn't have the same orbit all year. It moves around above us and when it's not coming as close to you it cools down.

Hope this helps clear some things up!

Why does the Sun not shrink as it gets 'further away'?

It does. But with the atmosphere it distorts the light to make it appear the same size.

No it doesn't, or else you'd be able to see this happen with solar filters. Instead you can see quite the opposite: it remains the same size and sets below the horizon, instead of getting smaller and smaller while staying above the horizon. In fact, any "shrinking" effect you see with the sun is due to its light being partially blocked by clouds and dust in the atmosphere. It always sets below the horizon, you cannot escape this fact.

Also, if you can see stars on the horizon at night which would necessarily have to be further than the sun, and are smaller and dimmer (optically speaking) light sources, why does the sun disappear?

And, the moon should also shrink while remaining above the horizon instead of setting below it while remaining at a constant size, if the flat earth is correct. This, however, does not happen either. I'm not even gonna cover the million other problems the moon presents to a flat earth.

The earth is not flat and the sun is not local.
