oh snap.

You can also see its moons, which is a good way to get an idea of the density of the planet. The way that the moons react to Jupiter's gravity tells us that it has an extremely low density, low enough to only be a gas (especially with a planet that big).

You completely ignored my response.. or do you just ignore math in general to help prove your theory?

I did no such thing... :D Idk what you are talking about.

no you didn't. you said what it would depend on, and i clarified.

Yeah, I did, chief. Try this:
  1. Read what I wrote
  2. Apply it to what you asked
Presto.

Simple geometry to disprove flat earth...

Let me know when you find a place on your flat world where you can make 3 90 degree turns and end up at your starting location.

sorry i missed this.

anyway, just because you can draw it does mean it's been done. this is why it's important to familiarize ourselves with logical fallacies. it is a logical fallacy called a "circular argument" to assume the ability to navigate an equilateral triangle on the surface of a sphere is proof of a ball-earth... unless of course you have proof that someone has actually traversed a 30,000km triangle, which you don't, because it's never been done. theoretically, this would certainly be possible on a ball earth.

how is this an answer? it just says it would depend on things. it gives no hint of an answer in the least.

Why don't you try it?

You're right, it is a cop out. You asked for something, I provided it, and your response is that it doesn't exist. Jupiter has been observed by telescope for several centuries and has been photographed by many, many people for decades. To pretend it doesn't exist is just silly.

How is it not an answer?
