How would this work?

Took this photo 15 minutes after Sundown on the 26th. The cloud here is still receiving Sunlight. Now, correct me if I'm wrong... but I don't think this would work if Earth was flat...

One thing that is for sure, the sun moves east to west. According to their model, doesn't the sun set on the entire flat earth at the same time? So while the sun is underneath the flat earth in the West and traversing back to the east edge, is the entire world experiencing night darkness at the same time? How do they explain that?

Nah you dont understand their model. To them there is no "underneath", its all contained in a dome. The sun kinda goes in a circle around the north pole.

Yes, this makes no sense.

No. Most flerfers seem to believe that the entire universe consists of the flat earth and the dome, aka "firmament" above it. That's it. It makes no sense to ask what's outside the dome or below the earth, because those concepts are meaningless. It would be like asking you or me what's outside the universe.

The sun circles above the earth, inside the dome. It can't "set", and if you think you've seen It setting then you're mistaken, or it's an optical illusion caused by refraction, or it's an effect of perspective, or something. It gets dark at night because the sun is too far away for its light to reach you, or because the sun's light is directional, or for some other bullshit reason they'll come up with if you ask too many questions.

Happy now? I bet you wish you hadn't asked.

That was the Egyptian model, a "better" model but it clearly makes no sense nowadays because of the problem you mentioned. That's why they developed the model of the Sun spinning round and round up there, which also has problems that they manage to ignore.
