Its the distance that the Sun's radiation has to travel through the atmosphere, FFS!
OK, do tell us, what do you think the Sun is?
But if the heat of the sun is travelling 93 million miles it is not going to make that much difference - the sun has got to be really, really hot - is the earths slight spin going to make the sun feel cooler if it is that far away?
The sun is what is warm/hot and bright.
wouldn't the fact that theres ice at the poles of the earth answer that question?

I think you mean the ice at the centre and at the edge! lol

No, the "heat" has to go through less atmosphere when the sun is overhead, it is the atmosphere that filters it before it gets to you on the ground and which absorbs the "heat".

Have you ever seen the model of the flat earth with the sun and moon moving over it? I found it fascinating.

Just a "cloud"? We are talking about the atmosphere. OK, maybe you really are that dim.

I have...
I found it retarded
Though again... working knowledge of basic physics...
The sun does not get close enough in the flat earth model to melt the ice wall or the centre ice.
Then you should have known why the ice does not melt.
the sun somehow only shines on specific areas of the flat earth, when in reality if the earth was flat there wouldn't be time zones... it wouldn't be light here, and dark on the other side of the earth...

Yeah - like that.

The video you posted shows how time zones work.

Light on a flat earth would not ever have darkness...
Only if you believe the sun is 93 million miles away.
