yeaah and it is lovely. i am so much in love with myself.
Back in 1492, people could just go outside and look, out or up or down or whatever. This is when they started to come up with these ideas of the earth being a ball. This is what is called anecdotal evidence.
How else could you answer it? Every question a sphere believer can ask a flat earth'r, this is things discussed over and over, and the people learning off the same videos will give the same answer as they hear themselves.
Making precise measurements is being stupid?
I posted two different videos showing that the sun does get smaller, and if you are in a dry place like a desert, you can see it get to a tiny size and disappear before it even hits the horizon.

Well, obviously this does not work because of reasons already stated, that you loose sight of the North star by being obscured by the atmosphere before it would be lost to sight from your imaginary curve so Latitude was determined by looking at the sun in the day because it is bright and you can follow it down to the horizon from places pretty far to the South.
Our perceptions "lie" on a regular basis. Demonstrate how the elevation of Polaris above the horizon corresponds to the latitude of observation. Draw a picture. It's easy.
You seem to not know very much about the universe.

I will have to try to search for it but there is a anomaly mentioned in some flat earth videos about the time difference between England and New Zealand, where if you have someone in England and another person in New Zealand for example talking to each other on the phone, the one in England could be describing how the Sun is starting to go down to set, while at the same time, the person in New Zealand would be describing how the sun had come up a while ago, while according to the globe, they would be on opposite sides of it, and one of then has to be in nighttime.
I think the video is the one by D Marble and it was him in the west of USA (sun overhead) talking to someone in Yorkshire England and Australia the person in Yorkshire England could not see the Sun as it had already set the guy in Australia couldn't see the Sun it hadn't risen yet both were in twilight which is possible I live in Scotland some info for you

The Earth has a tilted axis flat Earthers don't undestand physics,maths,scale or digital images it's that simple
