Part 4/12:
Incorrect Distance Estimates: The claim that the Moon is only 3,300 miles away conflicts with observations like parallax measurements, which place the Moon at approximately 250,000 miles away. Recalculations based on flat Earth assumptions still yield a distance of around 165,000 miles, inconsistent with the model's proximity claim.
Misunderstanding of Polaris: The model cannot explain why Polaris is visible in the northern hemisphere but not from the south if the Earth is flat or a rotating disk. The placement of Polaris would need to be radically different to match observed star patterns.
