That was easy to explain.. Electromagnetic Acceleration.. It creates the illusion of a horizon because light curves upwards.

RET includes the theory of Raleigh scattering, which has been proven in laboratory experiments, and is not exclusive to RET. The commonality is that there is more atmosplane around us than there is above us. That is why you can see stars, but can't see the sun. It's also why the sun appears to turn red at sunset.

Horizon doesn't always refer to something dipping below something else. In RET, the universe has a light horizon, beyond which we can't see because we can't see light emitted farther away in light years than the age of the universe.

Some stars are brighter than other stars. Our sun is relatively dim compared to what's out there. If you look at the "Scale of the Universe" charts, our sun, indeed our whole solar system could be dwarfed by larger stars.

The only thing I don't really understand is why does the sun appear to drop below the horizon instead of fade into the distance? Where is it going? It's definitely always daytime somewhere.

This is because the sun is a spotlight. If the light shines down, you can't see it from the side. This also explains the sunset, as the spotlight itself transitions into the spot on the ground disappearing past your visual horizon. Since light bouncing off a surface scatters omnidirectionally, the amount of photons that enter your eyes follows the inverse square rule. That is the farther away you get from a light source, it darkens exponentially. Consider a flash light shined directly in your eye from an inch a way. It would be painful, right? Now consider it a foot away.. a yard away.. By the time it is a mile away, you might not even see it at all. It certainly wouldn't hurt.
