Why is the view of the night sky different depending on your geographical location(the view of the cosmos from the north of England is different to that of south Africa)

If the Earth is a flat surface and the sun is a glowing sphere circling that flat surface, then how can you explain the night(or shadows) that it casts.

The popular theory is that the spherical sun shines a great circle nearly half the size of the known world.
As it orbits around the disc this circle of light moves with it causing night day, time differences, ect.

thank yo for your question.

but i have demonstrated that when you are outside the circle of light it changes shape. so its not always a circle either
