General Map



Here is picture of a proposed, but certainly not definitive, flat earth. Other maps representing various Flat Earth models can be found on our Flat Earth Maps page.

How do you explain day/night cycles and seasons?

Day/night cycle on a Flat Earth

A simplified animation of the day/night cycle in FET over the course of 24 hours. Note that, in actuality, the lunar cycle is slightly slower than the solar cycle

Lunar and Solar rotation cycles

The lunar rotation cycle is about 347.81°/day

Day and night cycles are easily explained on a flat earth. The sun moves in circles around the North Pole. When it is over your head, it’s day. When it’s not, it’s night. The light of the sun is confined to a limited area and its light acts like a spotlight upon the earth. The picture below illustrates how the sun moves and also how seasons work on a flat earth. The apparent effect of the sun rising and setting is usually explained as a perspective effect.

Explanation of the seasons in Flat Earth Theory

When the sun is further away from the North Pole, it’s winter in the northern hemiplane (or hemisphere) and summer in the south. A more simplistic picture can be found below.
