Default Arc inversion

It is one thing to ignore many of the topics which translate observations from a moving Earth into cause and effect, the partitioning retrogrades, the dual rotations of the Earth responsible for their respective day/night cycles or many other topics however to get even the observations themselves wrong is of a different and more dismal level.

The Sun's path across the seasons where the daily and orbital motions combine generate the asymmetrical mirror arcs across the orbit of the Earth with the equinoxes being the dividing line hence the flawed notion that the difference between summer and winter is the size of the arcs, both running parallel with each other is going to be false -

The problem with the last image is that from horizon to observer is not more than a handful of miles whereas the distance travelled by the observer each weekday from exiting the circle of illumination at dawn and entering it at sunset can be thousands of miles depending on latitude. The path of the Sun is captured by curvature of the Earth as the Earth both turns in a circle daily and as the relationship is changed by the orbital surface rotation, the one responsible for the polar day/night cycle.

There is certainly challenges but they are productive challenges so while many ran from the forum once something more substantial showed up and the others simply carry on ignoring this type of astronomy, it must be apparent to others that there is no real facility to expand on the narratives and that is a great shame.
