Yup, crepuscular rays demonstrate that.. If the sun was so far away, the rays would be parallel; the rays diverge from the point of the sun and are not parallel.
faulty logic, the rays hit the atmosphere and spread outwards. i think the earth is concave by the way, like the Nazi's did. Eratosthene's only proves that the light path could be bending... not necessarily the earth.
The atmosphere can have effects on light but what about a flashlight's focused beam even though the light is traveling through the atmosphere? It can be observed that the beam follows a narrow path with little to no effects from atmosphere besides fading over a distance of the earth.
The flashlight beam is traveling through the same atmosphere though. The scatter/bending happens when Sun hits atmosphere because it’s passing from one medium to another.
Notice the same bending does occur at the lesen of the flashlight as the light crosses over mediums.
