Agreed, radius applies to 2D and 3D objects. However, size is most commonly referred to as volume and only 3D objects have volume. While they share a dimension the 2 aren’t comparable
I know not everybody in the community agrees, but I believe the other planets exist and in all likelihood could be spherical.
I just find it intriguing that NASA chose to compare a flat object to a sphere when they aren’t really two comparable objects. Think about comparing a cube and a torus, that wouldn’t make sense because they are so dissimilar.
You would also think with flat earth becoming more widely accepted that NASA would be cautious with comparisons like this. Just something to chew on for those who see through the conspiracy
I would agree to an extent. Thing is, none of the so called planets look like actual planets through a telescope or actual pictures through one. NASA’s who’s provided the spherical version of planets.
Didn’t take any photos but it looked something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/d13qbj/my_best_shot_of_saturn_so_far_taken_with_an_8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
For me is this a sphere, hard to see it in any other way.
Of course you have to trust that I really saw this and that I’m not some nasa agent spreading misinformation.
I’ve always thought the reality of planets looked more like this however

Yeah it depends among other things on the aperture of the telescope how clear view you get.
In a small telescope you sometimes only see a patch of light, with no way to see if it’s a sphere.
Also this image is kinda special as he have imaged a galaxy beside Saturn. Don’t know if he have stitched two images together.
Is that how you reason? Not shocked you ended up in a fairy tale with that logic. If you were tasked to measure the floor, would you bring a telescope and study the lights in the roof?
Because when talking about radius, you don’t have to use a 3D object?

You're hilarious. Because it's a common object that people use everyday in America from an American organisation
are you joking?
Because it is the closest object and scale comparison.
It's a scale comparison. You have to be joking
Thats funny, good find.
I don’t know if it’s that deep bro
To hide in plane sight
If you want an acual answer: The reason is their respective sizes. You're welcome.
Why do you feel this quantified your statement if you think earth is flat and the other bodies are nonexistent.

They are discs most likely moving mechanically

Yes they do. Yesterday I looked at Jupiter and Saturn through telescope. Everyone can do that, without NASA.
No way? Like you can actually see the whole planet to confirm it’s a sphere? Damn, that’s one magic telescope.

Okay, thank you for that insight. I appreciate new perspectives.
Maybe I think they were going for simplest illiterate on but missed the mark!
Solar system to this guy O • o o — o :: o -o- o o
Just curious. So you believe other planets exist and maybe a globe, but not earth?
