Many times i've been asked to proove that the Earth rotates, not around
the sun but simple daily rotations. Every explanation i can come up with,
there is a counter claim that contradicts it. For example, you suggest
that the sun moving across the sky is proof. They say that it could be
the entire sun moving. How is it possible to proove beyond doubt that the
Earth does actually rotate?
