Why earth is not the center of the universe?

1) The Earth revolves around the sun and the Moon revolves around the earth and that orbits
of the earth sun and moon are not in perfect harmony and that's why we have the phases
of the moon. Plus the Moon does not have anything to do with it being night. It's night
half of the time because we face away from the sun. We aren't the center of the universe
not even the center of the solar system.

proof that earth is not flat


Shadows and sticks
If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time
passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two
sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow:

Stick shadows on a flat Earth

Imagine the Sun's rays (represented by yellow lines) hitting two sticks (white
lines) some distance apart. If the Earth were flat, the resulting shadows would
be the same length, no matter how far apart you place the sticks. By - Moriel

But they don’t. This is because the Earth is round, and not flat

Because the Earth is round, sticks placed at distant locations
will throw shadows of different lengths.- by Moriel Schottlender
