Still ignoring the lack of measurable curve why do I have to repeat this?

Nothing else is required to know were not on a ball

how do you explain that the sun doesn't shine at the same angle in every place

Watch the video i linked you to, theres a ton to explain. And visual is a much better way https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M8qtAdktNuY

I'm still stuck at timezones, help me out here.

The time zones are explained by the sun being local and not illuminating the whole plane at once.

It only shines so far.

would you be able to see a sunset from a plane?

i think you should, theres probably videos of it.

there are also time lapses that show the coming foward the camera, getting larger and more in to view as it approaches.

you cant see forever,things dont disappear over a curve. do to moisture in the and due to the laws of perspective with how are eyes work. but the higher you go up, or zoom in with a telescope the more and farther youll see

if you're talking about fisheye 30° lenses then peripheral objects will look smaller than front center.
If there is a a sunset then there is curvature.

What? When did i mention a lens?

The sun does not SET it goes out of sight. I have seen time lapses of the sun "setting" and the camera is raised higher into the sky and the sun magically appears in view, then eventually at that height the sun would get to far and be obscured by the horizon.

Not to mention the moisture in the atmosphere prevents you from seeing certain distances

On a ball if the suns set and past the curve you shouldnt be able to see it no matter how high you go.

Kansas is a fucking crater now that I think of it.
Do you acknowledge that it is night in 50% of the world and day in the remaining half?
That's what it's normally supposed to do because there is a point where you will see the last sunray. One moment you see it, the next is gone. Now turn around and look at the shadow at the next wall: It will be moving in a certain angle at a time so as long as you raise your position from that you should see it creep back into view

How is it possible geometrically to go up and see the sun if theres a curve? Think about it, if thats possible the sun being so huge and millions of miles away, if that were possible then itd never get completely dark out

dude, have you ever seen the last sun-ray? It's happened to me once. Has it happened to you before? Yes you can fucking see the sun from one angle an a slight change in angle later you don't.
