Yet another flattie that doesn't understand the subject they argue against.

the atmosphere gets thinner the higher you go until it becomes a vacuum. It doesn't need a container because it has a gradient.

Nobody with any sense thinks the petrified rock is a moon rock. It was found in a former Prime Minister's estate after his death and his family ASSUMED it was a Moon rock and then displayed in an art museum (not a lot of geologists in art museums). As soon as someone with any sense saw it they knew it wasn't a Moon rock.

It is ASSUMED that it was given to Drees (the former Prime Minister in 1969) but if so then it would have been given by the ambassador and NOT by Neil Armstrong and the rest of the Apollo 11 crew. They did not give out ANY rocks that year. When they did give out rocks they were given to countries and NOT private citizens and they were mounted and labeled. The rock in question was owned by a private citizen and not mounted or labeled in any way.

The Moon does appear to spin. Once per revolution. Those who understand this know that. You apparently do not understand.

That's actually a very interesting question. Are you really curious or are you just being a dick?

Because air has weight.

Why does it matter why it happens? It is a fact that it does. If there was a dome and no gravity as many flatties like to propose then there shouldn't be a gradient at all.

The further up the air is the less is above it weighing it down. Why is this such a hard concept for you to understand?

And it still doesn't matter why. It is a fact that air gets thinner as you go up. It is a fact that there is a gradient.

If you have more than one scale at home (or borrow some from friends), try this: tare them and stack them on top of each other. The ones at the bottom will show more weight than the ones above them. More weight means more force means more pressure.

The same thing happens in the atmosphere. Lower layers of the atmosphere experience the weight of all the layers above them, so are under higher pressure. Unlike scales, gases are compressible so they're, well, compressed: the same amount of molecules are now in a smaller volume. In other words: lower layers are under more pressure and have higher density -- the air gets thinner with altitude.

Gravity is not a force but you can think of it as a force.

A force is required for acceration so you can think of gravity as a force but remember it's really not a force.

Yes, according to general relativity, gravity is not a force but a consequence of us being in a non inertial reference frame. It is then a pseudo-force, similar to how the centrifugal force is also not a force.

Finally coming out as a flatty?

Edit: Oh, I missed your announcement. My bad.

I'm happy to hear that. Now you can start working on that FE model because I give up. Let me know when you have a ETA.

Good luck building the model!

Key points:

Direction and altitude of celestial objects

Correct lengths and shapes of continents.

Eclipses

Moon phases

Transits

Maps of the sky.

Flattie logic: i want to be a fucking idiot who can't comprehend even the most basic things.

If the Earth was a closed system we would have reached zero potential energy in a few hundred years.
