⁣In the Flat-Earth model, the Sun and Moon spotlights are perpetually
hovering over and parallel to the surface of the Earth. From our vantage
point, due to the Law of Perspective, the day/night luminaries appear
to rise up the Eastern horizon, curve peaking high overhead, and then
sink below the Western horizon. They do not escape to the underside of
the Flat-Earth as one might imagine, but rather rotate concentric
clockwise circles around the circumference from tropic to tropic. The
appearance of rising, peaking and setting is due to the common Law of
Perspective where tall objects appear high overhead when nearby, but at a
distance gradually lower towards the vanishing point.

“Although
the Sun is at all times above and parallel to the Earth’s surface, he
appears to ascend the firmament from morning until noon, and to descend
and sink below the horizon at evening. This arises from a simple and
everywhere visible law of perspective. A flock of birds, when passing
over a flat or marshy country, always appears to descend as it recedes;
and if the flock is extensive, the first bird appears lower, or nearer
to the horizon than the last. The farthest light in a row of lamps
appears the lowest, although each one has the same altitude. Bearing
these phenomena in mind, it will easily be seen how the Sun, although
always parallel to the surface of the Earth, must appear to ascend when
approaching, and descend after leaving the meridian or noon-day
position. What can be more common than the observation that, standing at
one end of a long row of lamp-posts, those nearest to us seem to be the
highest; and those farthest away the lowest; whilst, as we move along
towards the opposite end of the series, those which we approach seem to
get higher, and those we are leaving behind appear to gradually become
lower … It is an ordinary effect of perspective for an object to appear
lower and lower as the observer goes farther and farther away from it.
Let any one try the experiment of looking at a light-house, church
spire, monument, gas lamp, or other elevated object, from a distance of
only a few yards, and notice the angle at which it is observed. On going
farther away, the angle under which it is seen will diminish, and the
object will appear lower and lower as the distance of the observer
increases, until, at a certain point, the line of sight to the object,
and the apparently uprising surface of the earth upon or over which it
stands, will converge to the angle which constitutes the ‘vanishing
point’ or the horizon; beyond which it will be invisible.” -Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (85 and 231)
