No they're not. The constellations appear in completely different places now. Think you're an Aries cause you were born in April? Nope. Weren't born under that star sign in april. The constellations moved. You're technically a Taurus. 1000 years ago you'd be an Aries though.
I was talking about the stars of the constellations in relation to how they are spaced amongst eachother. Their spacing appears to be the same because the ancients depicted them exactly as they are today. Even if you want to argue they this spacing has altered slightly in thousands of years this seems completely implausible considering the universe is expanding at incomprehensible speeds according to the big bang theory. And we have no way of going back in time to check these measurements.
I am speaking out the scope of my research with this next speculation, but it is my understanding that we are currently transitioning from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius. Each of these ages last about 2156 years, both heliocentric and flat earth models agree on this. Is it possible the zodiac constellations shift slowly to different months through the ages? Just speculation, but I have not seen convincing evidence the stars shift in their spacing relative to eachother over any period of time.
If you look at the moon and drive a hundred miles does it look it's moving away from you? Nope. Because it's that far away.
Now consider stars that are lightyears away.
The nearest star is 4.37 light-years away from what they tell us. The sun is 8 light minute away. I'm sure you understand that objects appear to shrink as the further they are away. The sun looks small enough to hold in your fingers from 8 light minutes of distance; I don't believe that you would be able to see the closest star from 4.37 light years away due to how much it would shrink. I'm too lazy to do the math on how much further that is than the sun, but it's a ridiculous multitude.
Flat earth has no definite answer on how far away the sun and moon are, or even what they physically are. I am fine with this uncertainty because it's not necessary to have a complete model to debunk the hyliocentic model (which is also always changing and incomplete). But the sun and moon are distant enough that I don't think a car would make much of a difference, in addition to considering the speed they move over earth.
Note the speed of the sun is the same in both models at about 1037 mph, just one says its earth rotation and the other says the sun is moving.
Jesus fucking christ, you've successfully wasted my time. Well done you utter human dreg.
