Testing the Ball

Testing The Heliocentric Model

It's important to understand the Heliocentric model to be able to question it, so it make it easier, here are a few 'facts' and figures.

The equation for calculating the apparent curvature of the Earth, is 8" to the mile squared, however you need to take your height into account so this curvature calculator is useful.

Supposed distances from Sun to the 'Planets'

Mercury 57,910,000 km

Venus 108,200,000 km

Earth 149,600,000 km

Mars 227,940,000 km

Jupiter 778,330,000 km

Saturn 1,424,600,000 km

Uranus 2,873,550,000 km

Neptune 4,501,000,000 km

Pluto 5,945,900,000 km

Other useful distances to consider when testing the model

Clouds varying height but average at around 2 miles up.

Passenger jets fly at around 6 miles up or 30,000 feet.

Commercial planes fly at around 550-600 mph.

The Earth supposedly spins at 900 miles per hour.
Or 1040 km per hour.

The Earth supposedly travels around the sun in a very nearly circular orbit. 

The Earth covers this route at a speed of nearly 
30 kilometers per second, or 67,000 miles per hour.

  The Sun moves around the Milkyway at 483,000 miles per

 hour (792,000 km/hr).

The 'Milkyway Galaxy' allegedly travels at 1.3 million miles per hour (2.1 million km/hr).

model is meant to look so you can ask questions and decide 
for yourselves.

For entertainment value only, this video also has some supposed
'facts' about the heliocentric model.
