How does the climate work on a flat earth? Why does it get colder the further north or south or up you go?

I am new to posting here, but I have been lurking since they were created and the problems over on the Chans.
I am not debating, dialectic discourse isn't science. I am simply trying to reconcile how the motions of the Stars, Sun and Moon reconciles with your flat earth model.
The reason I am asking for the distances and speeds of those objects is to see how well they match with measurable observations. The fact that you can't give me either of those numbers is very telling.
In the spinning globe model all of those speeds and distance are trivial to determine (and incredibly accurate). Your flat Earth Model can't seem to deal with those fundamental issues at all.
Your question about seeing to far is confusing to me. We 'see' photons, some of the photons we see in the night sky are from billions of light years away and our telescopes can see even further.
I haven't observed any objects that should be hidden by the earths curvature.
However I commonly see ships sails, before I see the vessel itself. That in itself is evidence that the earth is curved.
About objects moving in the heavens, my observations agree 100% with the idea that the earth is making a revolution every 24 hours and that the Sun and Stars aren't moving, relative to each other.
Until you can come up with the speed and distances of the Sun, Moon and Stars, your flat earth theory is lacking the most important part of any theory and that is the ability to predict future results.
The spinning sphere theory can predict with incredible accuracy, the sunrise time 10 years into the future and any eclipses thousands of years into the future.
I live on a boat and have good vision, binoculars, radar and AIS.
In man overboard drills, we can see a person (a head) in the water up to around 3 miles out. Anything beyond that range is impossible even with Stabilized binoculars. We know where the person is because of AIS.
The same thing is true with a sailboat. It varies with the height of sails and radar. If there is a radar reflector high on the mast of the sailboat, radar can see it around 25 miles away. As the Sailboat approaches I can sometimes see the top of the sail in the 18 miles range and the top of the Sail boat itself in the ~9 mile range.
The above proves that the earths oceans surface is curved.
I have no idea where you have gotten your 'idea' that objects that have dropped below the horizon, can be seen simply by increasing the magnification. It isn't true.
Now answer my question, how high are the moon, Sun and Stars and how fast are they moving?
