Flat earthers 'explain' this by saying the sun moves in a circle over the flat earth.

And it's switched off at night?

no, apparently light only travels a certain distance and then stops that's why it's night on half the planet. also, the distance varies so that it reaches exactly half the planet all the time. and it warps around some kind of dome so you only see it come up on the east and go down on the west. and some other crazy shit probably as well.

I also love how they said that every person has a "Personal dome" to explain the different looks of star constellations.

I love how their solution is incredibly complex and absurd compared to just the Earth being a simple sphere which makes all the physics just simply work.
