Hey mate, you haven't researched the flat earth model because they definitely have an explanation.

The sun moves in a circle around the north pole. For sunsets it is disappearing from our vision (optical horizon, atmosphere blockage, etc)

Their rebuttal question would be: Why are there so many videos where the sun gets smaller as it sets? Is that possible on a globe?

Except the sun DOESNT ‘disappear from our vision’. It visibly sets below the horizon. You can watch it do so every night.

It doesn’t fade and gets smaller and feed her and then disappear in the distance, it sets below the horizon.

Now combine that fact with time zones. I can FaceTime a friend of mine further west and see that for him the sun is still up and has not yet set below the horizon while for me it has.

Obviously, demonstrably a sphere.

This is not an example of something that debunks the flat earth model. The same scenario you described would happen in their model also.

Brother, your examples will happen on a flat and globe earth model. You're arguing with what you "see", without understanding a basic principles of distance, that as something gets further and further away it merges into the horizon (in our 2D field of view)

  1. Just because something "visibly" does something doesn't mean that it does. As things get further and further away, all things converge towards the horizon, until our eyes cannot see anymore. Look down a long street, the tops of houses will converge into the horizon, as well as the bases of lamp posts.

Pro-Tip: A powerful telescope would bring those houses back into view, even the ones that should be hidden by the "curvature of the earth".

  1. Again time zones work in a flat earth model. The sun is just at a location where it is now closer to your friend than you.
