Just so you know, there are many "childrens" explanations on the holy YouTube...
Since i believe you are an adult, even though you have the mentality of a child... i'll even help you out
Here's a screenshot from the above video showing the "sun" as the light and the "moon" as a white ball, where both are visible from the "Earth" (observer's head), and the "moon" is half blocked. The half facing the "sun" is lit and the half facing the earth is blocked by the moon itself. This is the "new moon":

It doesn't explain the case I'm referring to, only pretends to be, like usual.
The problem is when the sun and moon are both seen directly above Earth, at the very same time, in daylight, while the moon is half blocked out....
What can block the moon, here?

Go pay and take the flight, take it up to 50+ thousand kms, pay the cash and see it for yourself, why is that so hard?
keep going up until you see it then you go down and see it go flat, your eyes will tell you
Those who don't, or rarely do, care to discuss the ACTUAL ISSUES of this thread...because they prefer to go on and on, mocking, and insulting, anyone, who 'dares' to claim anything else .... are absolute trolls
And if you think the issue is settled, why are you still here?
Now, could you please tell me exactly when the 1800 feet of 'missing curvature' were 'settled'? I don't recall anyone accounting for it, do you?

I've repeatedly asked for your side to account for 1800 feet of missing curvature, why is that so hard?[.b]
A curved surface cannot be flown at the same altitude through a 6 hour flight unless it is in a CONSTANT RATE OF DESCENT, throughout the flight. Being a LEVEL flight throughout, at the same altitude, which is measured by the instruments on the plane, are completely impossible, on a curved surface.
That's what's 'so hard to explain', for your side. And that's why you don't even try to explain it.
Anyone can go on a plane and film the surface, and if I showed a film that didn't show a curve, you'd say it was edited that way, or something. And I'd say it wasn't.
Saying I should go on a plane to prove my argument is a total cop-out, and you know it. It's just a lame excuse, that you hold up as if it's all up to me, and I 'avoid' it.
Stop ducking the question I've asked you endlessly to answer for, or else, you've obviously lost the argument.

If this daylight moon is what you mean:
www.universetoday.com...
Notice you can't see the sun in the frame. You can have almost a 180 degree field of view depending on your location and the sun and the moon can be in different parts of the sky. This is also shown in the demo video.
Notice the "moon" is over to the left, and the sun is over to the right. Both are within a 180 degree field of view, and seeing this only requires 90 degrees of angular separation, so you can see many more phases of the moon than this within the 180 degrees.

I'm amazed people have not figured out your trolling them?

The moon is IN FRONT of the blue sky, since it is COVERING part of the blue sky. That's obvious to see.

How about comparing to standard atmospheric pressure and actual pressure. I suppose they could hang a really long tape measure out the window.
