Because you can only see ISS when it reflects the suns light.
Here is one reason why the distances, direction, size and relative speed of the celestial objects is important.
The moon's monthly phases, clearly show that the moon makes a single rotation in a month, as shown by the phases of the moon. Most importantly the Moon's phases show that the Sun isn't moving in relation to the Moon (this is important). The lit up portion of the moon tells us the direction of the Sun to the Moon. Triangulating that angle between the Moon, Sun and Earth will provide the distance to the Sun.
We also know that both the Moon and the Sun, cross the sky in exactly the same 12 hour period. The Stars also cross the sky in exactly the same 12 hour period.
The only mathematical solution with the above physical constraints is that the Earth is rotating in space and the Moon is orbiting the Earth once a month.
From what I can tell, the FE theory doesn't answer any of those equations.
I want to know the FE's estimation of the distance of the sun, moon and stars above the earth and why their transit time across the sky is always identical? How is that possible?
Bonus question, how do the stars rotate around the North Star which is in a fixed position and doesn't move at all.
I have been above the Arctic circle during the Summer Solstice and watched the Sun circle low on the horizon completely around me never rising or setting. How does the FE model explain that? Both the stars and sun also do a complete rotation in a 24 hour period, with both the sun and the stars staying in the same relative position with each other?
"the sun and moon and stars all move a different rates across the sky, you should check it with your own eyes, a stop watch, a pen, and a notepad. think of how you can actually test this for sure. thats all FE is about, people thinking and observing for themselves, doing the math and thinking logically,"
All of our clocks are based on the Sun coming directly overhead every 24 hours, which it always does. The Star Constellations also appear directly overhead every 24 hours. The moon is the same except it is off by 1/28 of the circumference every day, because it is orbiting the earth every 28 days.
I can set (and have) a clock by the position of the Sun or Stars. It takes them both exactly 24 hours to return to their position directly above us.
However in the Arctic Circle, where I have observed this, the Sun makes a complete circle low along the horizon, while the north Star is motionless above my head and all the other stars are fixed in place with the sun rotating around the horizon in exactly 24 hours.
A spinning globe easily explains the motion of the Sun, Stars and Moon very precisely.
The Flat Earth model, doesn't provide any times and distances for the 'speed' of these objects. Or a coherent explanation of the direction of the Stars and why and how they are apparently orbiting both the North Star and the Southern Cross at the same time.
Yes it is true, I don't understand the FE explanation at all because it isn't explained anywhere.
That is why I asked you how far above the Earth those objects are and how fast they are moving? I am also curious what is the energy source for the Moon's doing circles above the earth? Doing circles is a constant acceleration and requires a lot of energy.

Your 'answer' was completely non responsive.
