EXAMPLE: Lighthouses are spot lights but eventually they have a vanishing point from sea. The problem is we don't know for sure exactly how close the sun is. If it's altitude is very close then it will have a vanishing point when it reaches a distance of several thousand miles on a flat plane. I live at 36 deg. N. Latitude. If i run down to Destin Fl to charter a fishing boat I can tell a distinct difference in the intensity of the sun.Nope. Not how it works.
It all falls apart when I ask you to measure a shadow. That method was used to accurately determine the earths diameter within 10%.
Small sun or large. There is no way day and night would work on a flat earth. The sun would need to be a spot light. We know it isn't.
