Perspective does NOT make things appear to vanish below the horizon.
But the distant lamp posts are not disappearing over the horizon, are they? They just appear smaller than the nearer ones. When the sun sets, it doesn't get smaller and smaller, but rather, it gradually disappears, so that half way through a sunset, we see only half of the sun, not the whole sun but getting smaller. Look at the distant lamp posts in your picture. They still appear as whole lamp posts, but smaller than the nearer ones.
You fail just like you have the other times.The sun does not rise or set, it travels the sky doing it's circuit & it is due to our perspective & the distance it is at that we see the sun rise & set.
We've been over this before.

First, why does the sun stay the same size? On a flat earth, the sun is further away at sunset and sunrise than it is at midday, so it should appear smaller at sunrise and sunset.As with the lampposts it is the same principle with the sun the only difference is that the sun stays the same size.
We've already established that you can see the curvature of the earth from a plane.
And there is plenty of proof of the moon landings.

Thus it cannot be perspective.As with the lampposts it is the same principle with the sun the only difference is that the sun stays the same size.
Yin-yang? You going back to pagan sources again?As it circles the skies it causes south to be light & the north to be dark & vice a versa, as such;

When viewed from millions of miles away. So once again, what we observe is consistent with the heliocentric globe model.The sun is always the same size.
We actually have in one of these threads forget which one but we’ve talked about it plenty.No we haven't, you may have seen it bit I haven't.
We have given you plenty. I even posted the pictures of the 400,000 pounds of stuff that the landings left behind.,Please give me some.
Who's fault is it that you weren't paying attention?No we haven't, you may have seen it bit I haven't.
The fact that not a single one of the 400,000 working on it has come forward to say it's fake.Please give me some.
So once again, what we observe is consistent with the heliocentric globe model.
What we really observe, does the sun look like it's 93 million miles away to you ?

That doesn't work. If you have a light source above a flat surface, the whole surface receives some of the light (although the part of the surface immediately below the light sources will be brighter than elsewhere.) Try moving a torch around an otherwise dark room. Everey part of the room will be lightened, to a certain extent.As it circles the skies it causes south to be light & the north to be dark & vice a versa, as such;

What we actually see is the sun remaining the same size, but disappearing little by little over the horizon.
I've already shown why that doesn't work through simple trigonometry. In the flat earth model, the sun would be 20° above the horizon at sunrise and sunset.Correct - But when sun light has gone this means that the sun has moved in the sky to light up another part of the earth, as I explained in my post. We never see this as the sun has moved so far off, out of line of view.
This is just you repeating the nonsense flat earth claims that are falsified by every observation.This is the reason for our night & days.
The sun may go down & rise, but the sun never goes anywhere, it is always there doing his circuit of the sky, causing our night and days.
So why, on a flat earth, would the sun still appear to be the same size, and gradually disappear below the horizon? I agree that the sun is still in the sky - the part of the sky that is beyond the horizon. That is exactly what one would expect on a globe earth.Correct - But when sun light has gone this means that the sun has moved in the sky to light up another part of the earth, as I explained in my post.
