      How do they explain seasons, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, lunar phases, tides, polar nights, polar days, etc?

      So, they aren’t exactly a monolith, different folks have different ideas. But generally speaking, they beleive all celestial bodies are basically spinning above us. I know they consider the sun to be actually really small and shockingly close to the surface. Generally the idea is the antarctic is the rim of the disk, with a giant ice wall that keeps the oceans in. Gravity is an illusion caused by the Earth constantly accelerating upwards.

      The moon is a sticker on the sky which is a big glass dome with holes in it. Or something like that, honestly they’re not really very consistent.
