To say that Antartica gets 6 months of night is misleading. What actually happens is the sun moves to a position below the horizon. In the flat earth model, it suggests the sun moves in greater circles, outwards from the centre, until around December 21st from which point it returns to its zenith position north of the equator (tropic of Cancer). The flat earth model also proposes that the sun is local and its power limited. Our atmosphere bends light downward to negate light spread.generalisms again, ok specifics coming and only cos my wake and bake got out of hand, in the disc model you are proposing as credible, there is an absolutely unanswerable glitch in the theory, which is antartica would not get 6 months of night, end of discussion re disc

Crepuscular rays illuminate half of the sky in Antarctica.
Credit: NOAA/Dave Mobleytotally dark from horizon to horizon.
There are two other types of twilight. Civil (bright) twilight exists when the sun is less than 6-degrees beneath the horizon. It is loosely defined as when most outdoor daytime activities can be continued. Some daily newspapers provide a time when you should turn on your car's headlights. That time usually corresponds to the end of civil twilight.
So even at the North Pole , while the sun disappears from view for six months beginning on Sept. 25th, to state that "total darkness" immediately sets in is hardly the case! In fact, civil twilight does not end there until Oct. 8.
When the sun drops down to 12-degrees below the horizon it marks the end of nautical twilight, when a sea horizon becomes difficult to discern. In fact, at the end of nautical twilight most people will regard night as having begun. At the North Pole we have to wait until Oct. 25 for nautical twilight to end. Finally, astronomical twilight when the sky indeed becomes completely dark ends on Nov. 13th . It then remains perpetually dark until Jan. 29 when the twilight cycles begin anew.
So at the North Pole the duration of 24-hour darkness lasts almost 11-weeks, not six months

no it is not misleading, it is sunless night for 6 monthsTo say that Antartica gets 6 months of night is misleading.

Lol have you heard yourself? I believe you will have a meltdown imminently.Amazing tenacity to hold on to and protect delusion. It's like they've built a little metal Jenga reality which includes the delusion as a few of the Jenga pieces.
You're trying to pull pieces from their created Jenga reality, so obviously this is part of their anxiety, and they need to come up with some bandaid to refute logic to keep their little Jenga tower intact.
We all have Jenga towers that we protect with or without logic available.
Fortunately, your beliefs don't seem to be based on any sound logic or reasoning....I believe you will have a meltdown imminently.
