1: What goes up, must come down
2: The sun is yellow
3: Days get longer in summer and shorter in winter
4: At noon the sun is directly over head
5: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west
What are 5 things nearly everyone believes, but are not true? Do you believe any of the concepts? I posted some concepts in comments.
Charles, I think your examples can be true in certain instances, except the last one.
-things that go up only come back down when acted upon by a force; prices go up but rarely come back down.
-The sun is considered in astronomy as a yellow star, but really emits a wide spectrum of light.
-the days are chronologically the same length, but daylight lasts longer in summer.
-the sun is only directly overhead at certain latitudes relative to the point of the solar year.
-the sun doesn't really rise or set, the earth spins its face eastward relative to the sun.
Please feel free to add your comments or critique mine.
Those are all true?
