Though even then, the sun would never go below the horizon, it would fly off in a stright line and disappear. Going below the horizon only works on a globe

The idea is that the light is small and close. It doesn't need to go over the horizon to disappear in the distance.

I'm not sure how they explain the random pattern the light would need to travel for different seasons or why it looks so massive as it rises or sets.
