Part 2/11:

Flat Earthers frequently cite the consistent position of Polaris, the North Star, as evidence against Earth's movement. They argue that if Earth were traveling so fast, Polaris and other stars should appear to shift noticeably over time, akin to traveling through a tunnel with painted stars on the walls—stars should appear to change position nightly. The fact that Polaris remains roughly in the same spot in the sky throughout a lifetime is presented as proof that Earth isn't moving.

However, this perspective overlooks crucial aspects of the universe's scale and relative motion. To understand the reality, we need to examine the true scale of our solar system, the distances involved, and how movement works over such vast expanses.
