Flat Earth can predict and calculate nothing.

Many facts are wrong/untrue. Facts are merely what your authority tells you are facts. You believe it is a fact (i.e. true).
However, your "proof" is circular.
Premise : The world is a sphere because equations which include its sphericity work to predict sunrise/sunset times.
Conclusion : The equations work because the world is spherical.
The premise IS the conclusion, and does not follow from it. It's circular logic.
Because we built it to! It coincides with the actual measurements that we made of the sunset/sunrise times because it was built from / confirmed against such charts.
Our conception of the world and its workings can be (and most often are) entirely wrong and still be useful.
I won't because i don't do people's homework for them - it makes them worse students/researchers. If you earnestly search for such charts and fail to find them, then we can talk about what you tried and i will do my utmost to help you. Finding charts of the sunrise and sunset times should not be difficult.
Charts do not require the world to be any particular shape, just like the times for sunrise and sunset within them. They simply are.
Thank you for proving the point of this thread
The point of this thread is that you believe the earth has to be the center of the universe, because the equations which describe it that way work to predict all the things you praised in the post title.
Do you finally understand the analogy, or will you keep obstinately refusing (to vainly shelter your pride and dogmas)?
Show it, don' t just claim it.
You won't because you can', just like all the other Flat Earthers.
All you have is claims without evidence.
This is real life. The burden to thoroughly validate all claims (facts are merely one type of claim) before accepting (or in your case, reflexively discarding) them always lies with us - the students.
You can ask for help in that endeavor, but demanding it like a petulant child is always counter productive.
"Flat earthers", aren't real. "Arguing" with them has made you grow complacent and form bad habits.
You are now trying to defend a stupid and evidenceless position yourself as a result :( (i.e. charts for sunrise and sunset times don't exist)
Don't argue - it's for idiots. Instead, earnestly discuss - the way all capable students do.
