The dovetailing between orbital perspectives and timekeeping and specifically proof of the Earth's annual circuit of the Sun is founded on the transition from an evening to a morning appearance of the stars close to the orbital plane or the faster moving Venus and Mercury.

I cannot imagine any adult being unable to make the call on the transition of the stars from an evening to morning appearance due solely to the orbital motion of the Earth. As a location passes through the circle of illumination it sees all objects to the left of the Sun so that when an observer continues to rotate they exit the circle of illumination and see the stars and celestial objects to the right of the Sun.

How to ignore proof of the Earth's orbital motion while simultaneously ignoring the direct/retrogrades resolution of the faster moving planets along with phases/size increases is delinquency of the highest order in astronomy or any other science.
