How is this picture possible if the sun is 93 million miles from earth?

Holy cow. Mind blown.

Bill Engval would remark that if you were wearing your sign then he'd have known to explain it to you. This one may be a bit startling to you also

No...that one I understand perfectly. Now toss in some clouds behind that moon that's 240k miles away if ya want to blow my mind.

 

[Influenza]

it has been explained more than sufficiently for you to understand. For some reason you seem to prefer to believe that the sun is only a few dozen miles away, as if somehow that explanation is more rational than the one given

So I was going through Mike Pence's twitter feed and ran across this picture he took and posted while flying to Orlando.

How is this possible if the sun is 93 million miles from earth? Does not make any sense to me. Anyone got an explanation before my brain short circuits?

"How is this picture possible if the sun is 93 million miles from earth?"

Physics.

Dont worry, Trump is going to MAGA. That's all that matters.

Okay, that's sounds reasonable but how does that explain clouds behind the sun? That's the part that I can't seem to explain in the pic using any common sense or science.

Those aren't clouds. They're chem trails.

You are making a false assumption that it is impossible to take a picture where objects which actually pass in front of a bright light appear to go behind the light. It has already been shown to you that this assumption is false, and even how you can perform your own experiment to prove that it is false. But you won't listen.

I've seen that many times at sea and from aircraft.

Aliens.

That’s no sun…it’s a space station.

This flat earth stuff is so ridiculous I can't even...some of my friends even believe this and we say someone put dumb in their weed.

The clouds are not "behind the sun". As someone who has worked with photography all my life, a camera - or our eyes for that matter - do not have the latitude (dynamic range) to expose all levels of brightness when taking in an image, specifically something as massively bright as the sun. Combine that with the fact clouds are of varying densities explains this. The clouds that appear to be "behind the sun" are getting blown out (over-exposed) and they appear to disappear as they move in front of it. The clouds that do not get blown out as much are of thicker density and remain within the dynamic range of the camera, and thus can be seen passing in front of the sun.

You can easily replicate this by aiming a camera at a bright object and opening up the f-stop all the way. Anything somewhat transparent (like clouds) may be blown out and disappear while something darker may not. There is your answer.

Problem...those clouds behind the sun are not even close to being semi-transparent. They are quite thick/dense. They are lighter because they are being lit up by the sun but the density of them appears to be the same. You can see that as you follow them to the right and the sunlight loses strength because of the distance.

So how is what appears to be the same density of clouds block out the sun on the bottom half but not even a little block out the top half? Makes no sense what so ever.

I was thinking Russians, but it might be Iranians...

i'm thinkin' tequila.

Not to mention placing a very thin transparency (obviously quite transparent..hence the name) directly on a light source doesn't even begin to explain a thick cloud 93 MILLION miles away from the light source prove anything? The so called test doesn't even come close to replicating the scenario. I'm talking about this ridiculous explanation:

The earth is flat. Proof...

There seems to be more light when you look right at the sun, but it diffuses more if you look away?
It appears that the lower, darker line is the horizon, and the cloud cover is relatively thin. Since the plane is so high up, an oblique view through the atmosphere is not impossible, nor is seeing the sun through that gap. The clouds are above the line of sight to the sun, not behind it.

the fact that VP-elect Pence posted this pic proves that he is a double-reverse black psyop flat-earther.

and that my friends, is not a bad thing.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

The earth is flat. Proof...

THE SUN IS IN FRONT OF THE OCEAN!!!!!!

 

[PatriotOne]

THE SUN IS IN FRONT OF THE OCEAN!!!!!!

That would be explained by reflection.....not the sun washing out thick ass clouds from 93M miles away...lol. Those are not wispy, transparent clouds behind the Pence pics. And if you say they are your just lying to yourself to explain your problem with your explanation of why the bottom half of the same clouds that look the same in density don't block out the top half of the sun. Your explanation in no way explains that. In fact it debunks it all together.

God is so good to us, the tide is gonna bring in enough boiled fish to carry us through the winter tonight!!
