I'm well aware of how it's supposed to work and what is handed to us but there's no mechanism for it to work as we're told.What do you need, a Youtube video of a small child demonstrating exactly what you refuse to understand verbally?
Go to the store. Buy an apple. Tilt it with the stem to the left. Then, without changing your grip on it, move it in a circle in front of you. Notice how the stem stayed to the left?
Good. Now imagine that there's a nice sun within that imaginary circle you just moved it. Was it pointing towards the sun the whole time?
No, it wasn't.
Congratulations. You've reached the level of a mediocre six-year-old in terms of understanding a physical model of planetary motion and the seasons.
If you spin a ball at an angle, let's say with a stick right through it and you have that north pole stick angled away from the ball (sun) in the centre of a circular table and you keep that north pole stick at that same angle as you move around that table, it stays exactly teh same.
We are told to believe it changes orientation as it spins and rotates around the sun but there's no mechanism for it to do that.
I mean, there's no mechanism for any of it in reality but this is about the stick suddenly shifting from angled outwards to angled inwards towards the sun.

Get a swing ball and walk around it holding the ball and tell me if the ball changes face towards the pole.I can’t believe someone is struggling to understand this. Light a fire in your garden and stand facing it. Then imagine a circle going round it. Walk round that circle but keep facing the same way. Half was round you find the fire is warming your back and you can’t see it. It really is that simple.
The string will always point to the pole and the underside of the ball that has no attached string will always face away from that swing ball pole.
And this is where the problem with it lies.I suppose where the confusion might come from is if you constructed a model solar system with the earth on a spinning arm with the earth tilted away from the sun. In that scenario, the north pole would always be tilted away. The difference is the earth is not on a fixed solid arm forcing the axis to always face away.
There's no mechanism/force to have it do what we're told it does.
Actually it's not. I've also flown in quite a few so I have no qualms about that. This is what I'm talking about with provable stuff.This thread is like.....
O.P. - I don't believe in planes, no way could they fly.
Entire board - I've flown in one, here's how propulsion works, here's how aerodynamic lift works and here's how navigation works.
O.P. Yeah but ...fruit salad!
