In some regard, older flat earth models made more sense to me except that time-zones and sunrise/ sunset/ day and night does not work at all with them (having traveled abroad and spoken with family in vastly different time-zones has made it abundantly clear that the sun definitely does not shine across the entire plane of the earth... if that is what it is).

I see that the animation of the day and night cycling across the earth where someone has made a valiant effort to explain the action of day/night across the plane of the earth... simplistic because it does not show the lunar 30 day cycle, but it at least is a good effort.

So how does FE explain that the sun and moon appear to set without a curvature? Along with that, I have seen a mountain cast an inverted shadow at sunrise across the face of a cloud, not to mention watching the shadow of night chasing my airplane as I fly from east to west (by chasing I mean that every time I look it gets closer to the airplane). If the earth is flat, what is casting that shadow where there is clear definition of night and day that is darker farther east on the ground than it is on the clouds behind the airplane.

I would think that by looking at that animated model of the sun moving around the planar earth that whatever is casting the shadow would be more like a shroud near the light source, therefore since the sun is setting (again... how does the sun set in this model without curvature) in the West, the ground to the east would remain light longer since the rays of the sun travel from sun (in the West) toward the East.
