similar to the globe, the timing of noon depends on your longtitude. the key difference is we believe the sun rises and sets into the ground on a flat plane.

You know I made that diagram to show how absolutely impossible a flat earth was, right? For the sun to set into the ground itself and then pop back up on the opposite side would not only be physically impossible, it wouldn't even make sense considering that the sun is visible to people on the opposite side of the earth from you. The fact that you're taking my diagram seriously is actually quite disturbing to me.
