It suggest 10000, (5000 + 5000,) but ya, maybe it's 12000
It suggests <1,000.
5,000 miles away to 4,500 miles away from sunrise to noon is 500 miles of travel, then to be 5,000 miles away again at sunset is another 500 miles of travel. The scenario here is that the sun is closest to us at noon, where it is 4,500 miles away from us.
What exactly is 12,000 though? The travel from sunrise to sunset? Because that's still only just over the width of the Eurasian continent, and the fact that there is only an 8 hour difference in time zone between the two coastlines makes that number also a lowball estimation.
All said though, that's a big jump for your original figures. Are you just guessing these numbers or do they come from some actual dataset?
Getting an accurate number would tale me a lot of work.
Well, yes. Accuracy takes work. That's the reason why I have doubts on this proposed scenario. In all conversations I've had, there are major accuracy discrepancies.

I have. Several times in the past. The one I usually find, and the "best" I've seen, is a very blurry video, and it is not convincing. Because of the shot being out of focus it could also be construed as a setting sun, not a fading sun. I asked you for a link because I was hoping you might have a good/better one.
Also could track the difference between the sun path over days and then you'd have a larger angle to measure. Survey equipment just isn't meant for this kinda distance.
Sounds like you've done some of this yourself. Can you detail a bit how you did your study? I'd be curious to try it out!
If we go back to the point, we just have to prove the Earth doesn't curve
I agree! My stance currently is asking the critical questions: if the earth doesn't curve, then what is the reason we make xyz observations?
