Sorry for any confusion, I know the timezone, just a little confused about how the sun cycle works in the Southern hemisphere (SA is 6 hours ahead of NY). I was taught about the orbit of the sun in school, but I'm wondering how it works since the Earth is not a globe?
The Sun does not orbit parallel to the Earth's plane, it rises in the east, follows a straight path over the equator at the equinoxes and in arcs over the tropics at the solstices, always making its natural variations. The Sun sets in the west and passes beneath the earth, where rotating etheric currents flow quickly causing the Sun to rise on the other side in a matter of seconds, the luminiferous ether is denser in the vicinity of the first firmament (the Sun is outside), thus the Sun's light and mirage are maintained for some time in the west while the Sun is simultaneously rising again in the east.
The density of the luminiferous ether is also the reason why the Sun does not significantly change its apparent size, causing a magnifying effect like a magnifying glass.
Electromagnetic acceleration is what makes the Sun appear to rise and set before it does so solidly.
https://wiki.tfes.org/Electromagnetic_AccelerationThe Sun's illumination is not like a spotlight and its light does not reach the surface of the poles, the midnight Sun at both poles is caused by the reflection of the Sun on the moon Eos, there is one for each pole, Eos is also responsible for the auroras.
https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/mitologia/eos.htmEarthquakes are more common in the Pacific oceans (there are two) and nearby because the magnetism, heat and radiation from the Sun have affected the formation of Pacific tectonic plates, as they are very close to where the Sun passes.
