You will NEVER convince Gerald that the moon rotates, he does not have the gift of perception and is not capable of learning anything from anyone here or from any links you may provide.

You have been insisting for years that there are more rotations than there are 24 hour days so it is no wonder you couldn't manage to appreciate polar sunrise and sunset as coming from a separation rotation to daily rotation.

I would have thought that in over two decades at least one person would affirm that the Sun coming into view would be as a result of one rotation of the planet but haven't seen anyone who can actually associate a sunrise and sunset due to a rotating planet.

I wouldn't know what it feels like to force yourself to believe a sunrise/sunset is Not a consequence of rotation and specifically polar sunrise and sunset -

You can believe whatever you want as is your right and trot out your stock phrases but all you and your magnification buddies represent is a period in history when the discipline of astronomy fell foul of celestial sphere enthusiasts and empirical theorists. Not even sunrise and sunset is attributed to a surface rotation and that is heartbreaking and dismal at the same time.
