Here's the thing:
If the surface of the earth were a sphere, sunrise and sunset would be the rise and fall of the sun from the horizon in view.
So at sunrise or sunset, when a mountain is above the horizon, do the shadows of the mountains have a chance to be cast on some of the clouds behind them that are higher than the mountains?
Because mountains are higher than the horizon, and the sun is below the horizon, this is likely to happen if the surface of the earth is really a sphere.
But if the surface of the earth was flat, and the sun was just circling in the sky, that would never happen, because the sun is always higher than the mountains(Here are the mountains lower than the sun.).
Or, to put it another way, does the sun, at sunrise or sunset, not once illuminate the underside of the clouds and cast shadows over them?It's the same thing as before.
