If the sun circles the flat Earth, then it would be at different angles at different times of day in different locations.
It's apparent size would also change quite significantly, so....

Atmospheric lensing could cause the sun to change apparent size as the amount of atmoplane changes between you and the sun.

But then so would everything else.  This does not happen. 

Have you never heard of a mirage?
No, I haven't.  Could you take me through it and explain the relevance?

What a surprise,,,

This is off topic.  Please return to explaining how the applications that use satellites actually work.

Is it just wishful thinking on my part, or is there just the slightest of chances that one day you'll actually post a relevant, adult comment that, as well as not being off-topic, actually adds something meaningful to the debate?

Your puerile one-liners are nothing more than a waste of my download bandwidth.  Which, not surprisingly, costs me money—whereas I'm guessing your mommy pays for yours.

So... for once in your young life... could you please address the OP's question as to how it is that we can predict the path of—and track—man-made satellites so precisely using round earth astrophysics?  Or do you deny the existence of these satellites altogether?
