As you can see in the diagram it is impossible to triangulate the position of a local sun as the flat earth community believes. You would need multiple suns.
Also note that to even make the sunrise work somewhat in the north the sun "spotlight" would be so small that there would only be 6 to 8 hours of light each day. Absolutely nothing about their "model" works.
If the sun goes in a circular orbit (around something) approximately above the equator, that would mean that an observer at the North Pole would either see the sun travel in a complete circle at the same elevation (about 20°) or not see it at all because "the light isn't bright enough to see that far away".
The only way the sun could rise or set at the north pole is if it's orbit shifted north and south on the same day. Ignoring the obvious problem of how, that north/south shift is how seasons are supposed to work sooo...how do seasons work?
I always argued using the model of the sun rising over the circumference of the earth because even though that's obviously stupid, it's much less stupid than the idea that the sun spins in a constantly changing orbit directly above us and we don't see it at night because it's too small.
What? Two hours of arguing and no one wants to touch this one, huh? Just want me to explain (again) why your various "refutations" of the globe model are invalid?
Ah well, enough fun for one night. Sleep well you loveable retards.

How about the North Pole?
