Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Did you all skip school or something lmfao? Space is a vacuum. The energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space and excites the molecules here on Earth. Although less and less energy is transmitted as distance increases, the amount of energy released by the sun is so great that it manages to reach Earth at a very noticeable level.

Do your research first before making worse than retarded statements.

Space is a false doctrine put about by proponents of evolution and fake science.

Genesis 1:6-8,14-19
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

You need to check your facts from Him who made it all.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Light travels at 300,000,000 metres per second.

According to you, The sun is roughly 491.1 miles overhead.

1 miles = 1 609.344 meters

491.1 miles = 790 348.838 meters

Therefore light reaches us in one 379th of a second

Clearly not, as we have visual proof of when the sun rises and sets. It takes 7 minutes for the light to reach earth so it IS millions of miles away.

Also this thread contradicts this.

Why isn't the sun as big as it is?

Also when we reach the moon, why isn't the sun before that? The moon is further away than 491.1 miles.

Why don't we fry already if it is 491.1 miles away?

Why is none of this mentioned in the Bible yet God clearly states what the sun is and why it is there.

Genesis 1:14-19
14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

There was already light and night and day 3 days before God made the sun. You can clearly see the firmament start glowing before the sun even comes up. Yes, the sun makes the firmament brighter when it rises but it's not the be all and end all.

Genesis 1:1-5
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

I know it's hard for brainwashed atheists to accept that the creator of the earth and firmament knew what He did and told the Bible's authors exactly how things are but it's staring you in the face.

Sure is.
I watched it. Since when to 'space ships' have rear view mirrors. Is that so they can back up safely on Uranus?
Please. I saw that back when I was in College, it is one of Speilbergs early works when he was at NYU film school.

So how many "space ships" does British Broadcasting Corporation have? I guess you believe that Dr. Who is real a doctor is space as well. You know, it's footage from BBC too.

The BBC do not have any space ships. He went in a U2 spy plane. As for the rest of your post, it's just a waste of words

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Praise the Lord! He has shown me how to prove scientifically that the sun is no more than 500 miles overhead.

Here is the proof:

To start off with, the sun is hot enough to glow yellow, so we can use Wein's Displacement Law to determine the temperature.

Wein's Displacement Law:
Peak Wavelength in meters = displacement constant / temperature in Kelvin

Yellow light has a wavelength between 570nm and 580nm, so we'll solve for 575nm. Since we are working with nanometers rather than meters, we'll simplify the math by multiplying the displacement constant by 10^9.

575 = 2897768.5/T
575 * T = 2897768.5
T = 2897768.5/575
T = 5039.6° K (8611.6° F)

So the sun is about 5039.6° Kelvin.

Now, the average temperature of the earth is 59° F, or about 288° K. The mean temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6° K/km, so let's solve for the distance.

d = (5039.6 - 288)/6
d = 791.9 km (491.1 miles)

There you have it. The sun is roughly 491.1 miles overhead. Depending on the exact shade of yellow (whether it's closer to 570nm or 580nm), this figure could be off by as much as 5 miles. However, I don't have a spectrometer handy, and I'm willing to live with an uncertainty of ±5 miles. It's not like I'm planning to visit anytime soon -- my shoes would melt .

The LORD is so good to me. Praise the sweet name of Jesus.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

I have heard that the sun is closer to the Earth during winter than in summer. I suspect that the opposite is true.

How would the sun know when winter is, anyway?

The sun doesnt so much know it's winter, but causes winter. However, when its closer to a fixed region, thats the regions winter. Its when its further the the earth recieves the most direct sunlight, since the earth has about a 23.5° rotation from a vertical axis of rotation, and its the direct sunlight that makes the surface hotter, causing summer
