2 words. Elliptical orbit.
Orbit of what?
Sure, thats the common answer. But why is the sun further away in the summer than in it is in winter.
That makes absolutely no sense on a globe model.
In the flat closed system model, in the summer, the sun is more over your head, but a bit higher. In the winter it moves away from us, but decends a bit.
The key driver of the seasons is the Earth's obliquity. The flat earth fiasco was widely debunked last year by a billionaire who paid for an Antarctic expedition for several prominent FE tools. Most converted on the spot. One bozo was just going on about projections and holograms.
