Almost everybody acts as i'm crazy when they hear i say "the earth is not a spinnig ball. Not spinning and not a ball". It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom. So it is hard to convince them. But when i try to convice somebody, after i talked usually they change their mind as confuse. Because i don't see anybody can defence one of main argument about diffusion.
More altitude gravity decreases but suddenly occurs diffusion is a really strong power; so how atmospher resist to difuses to the space. This question has no answer. I recommend to ask this question first for all discussings.

Even if you could, in theory, make a flat earth the size of our planet, the gravity of the earth is sufficient to draw it into a sphere. Every planet and moon and star that we are able to see in any detail is a sphere for that reason. Small meteorites might not be, but only because they are too small to have such an enormous gravity. The earth even has enough gravity to retain a great deal of gaseous atmosphere - and our moon (smaller, less mass, less gravity) does not.
Oops, sorry, I've been explaining this as if you were a teachable human being. My mistake.

I suspect you get that response regardless of what you say.
Your grasp of the English language seem as weak as your grasp of reality, dearie.
It is indeed harder to crack a prejudice than an atom, which is why there are prejudiced people like you.
Sure, that garbled question has no answer, but nor does "How do invisible green dreams sleep furiously?".
And that 'Altitude Gravity' prevents you from taking a ship to the edge of the 'world' as you subjectively perceive it, then use GoPro cameras with Wi-Fi on a drone to take a look at what's over & under that 'Edge'... how?!
You do remember that scene in the Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show", do you not: just in case you dare to even think of using that 'There's a solid hemisphere 'Dome' over the Earth' BS excuse. Thus a question:
Why isn't the sky 'Flat', then...?!
Strange how you aren't the only one who thinks that your head... er, I mean the Earth is 'Flat', eh? Because if there's more than one of you: who are the Sheeple now...?!
Time for you to wake up, Flat Head retards.
“Almost everybody acts as i'm crazy when they hear i say "the earth is not a spinnig ball. Not spinning and not a ball". It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.”
The guy who discovered plate tectonics faced a similar reaction. Until enough evidence was collected to convince people
Same for the guys that discovered germs.
If you had evidence, they’d listen.
"Because i don't see anybody can defence one of main argument about diffusion.”
But that’s not evidence the Earth is Flat, it’s just a question about the sphere model you don’t know the answer to. And neither to your listeners.
“More altitude gravity decreases”
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, the greater the distance between two objects, the less effect their mass has on the other object. But the relative size of the two objects also is factored in. That’s why the Moon is locked into orbit by the pull of Earth’s gravity, but an astronaut on an orbiting platform feels weightless.
"but suddenly occurs diffusion is a really strong power; so how atmospher resist to difuses to the space.”
Diffusion isn’t a force, it’s what happens to particles when forces are decreased.
And i believe the gravitational draw on each individual molecule is sufficient to keep all the molecules inside the atmosphere.
"This question has no answer. I recommend to ask this question first for all discussings.”
I recommend asking an astrophysicist this question.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
