 II.18 shows a photograph of Mercury (the tiny black dot) passing across the Sun’s surface.
Reputable astronomers have measured Mercury’s diameter as about 3,000 miles. Note that Mercury appears as an infinitesimal dot in front of the Sun, with the line showing the motion of Mercury. This demonstrates that the Flat-Earth diameter of the Sun as 32 miles is completely wrong. And how does Mercury get between the Sun and Earth, anyway? In the Flat-Earth picture the Sun is 3,000 miles away from the Earth and Mercury should be on the celestial sphere, a hemispherical dome 4,000 miles above flat Earth.
We have included only a small number of the many serious issues with Flat-Earth Theory. Anyone interested in a comprehensive debunking of Flat-Earth theory should peruse the extensive discussions posted on Debunking Flat Earth Misconceptions. That should convince any objective observer that Flat-Earth Theory is full of holes and not worth serious consideration – it’s “flat wrong” 😊.
