For example, the average sunset is offset by less than one-half degree. However, there ARE atmospheric circumstances where refraction is hugely significant -- mirages & ducting being two cases.<br /><br />If you want to deny that then you can wallow in your ignorance somewhere else.Dark Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356850749159919331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367618069880256082.post-56921630217549959042016-12-18T17:49:26.190-08:002016-12-18T17:49:26.190-08:00As soon as a globe earth retard uses the phrase &q...As soon as a globe earth retard uses the phrase "atmospheric refraction" I know he uses whatever math possible to arrive at a believed conclusion. Because the globe earth is after all a religion. You make it complicated in order to confuse those who don't understand math and weave your "magic" wand like all the other psuedo scientists. Your equation if correct but your assumption that refraction plays a significant role whatsoever is completely wrong. Why don't you ponder how water adheres to a spinning curved surface in your fictional world and why you can't replicate that belief? Your religion is false!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812598520681013312noreply@blogger.com
