In my perusing of various Flat Earth models i have noticed that almost universally they depict the Sun as being round. I am specifically referring to images like this one.



There are many examples of this kind of depiction, however perhaps we should question this notion and examine the evidence to come to our conclusions.
In that end i would like to start the discussion by giving a cursory examination to what we see when we look at the Sun.

Obviously with the naked eye there is much that remains hidden...



A simple online image search can turn up many "official" NASA images of the Sun. There are many photographs of the Sun taken by NASA and other government space agencies,
I will focus on a few images sourced from ground-based telescopes and also images from civilian sources. However I should not gloss over images said to be taken from spacecraft such as this one.



Certainly looks magnificent, and defiantly gives the impression of being a sphere.

When we look at some ground-based photos we see a less impressive sight...



This does still imply a certain roundness, the gradient at the edge especially makes the brighter parts in the center look closer.



I am not in any doubt that we could concoct many wide and wild theories that could explain away the appearance of roundness through optical illusion or various other means.
That may not be necessary though as when we start to take a look at civilian photographs things take on a much flatter appearance.





The gradient seen in "official" images is still present. It does seem to be much less distinct than before so is this a result of a less powerful viewing device
or of the "enhancement" photos from NASA and the space community often receive? There are many possibilities, perhaps it is even an intrinsic part of the
heavy-duty camera filters that must be used when photographing the Sun.



Anyway, in conclusion I would like to state that this is but a small sliver of evidence and I am looking to hear your thoughts on the topic.
I do not see how a Flat Sun would change anything in the common model of the Flat Earth, but again I would like to hear your opinion.

If the Earth is flat, why not the Sun?
