Original Note:
if you graph the equation of time against the declination of the sun, this is only possible on a sphere, hence flat-earth is debunked (again). The equation of time compares the solar time (based on the sun's position) with the clock time. https://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/eqtime https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313373472_ESTIMATION_OF_SOLAR_DECLINATION_EQUATION_OF_TIME_AND_SUN-EARTH_DISTANCE https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/solar-declination
