Could be. Or that isn't the actual configuration of the Earth, like KD posted. Or the atmospheric effects are magnified because the sun is so large and far away relative to any example we see on Earth (like the planes you mentioned previously) that the apparent position of the Sun is disturbed. Or again, maybe the sun isn't a tangible object anyway.
Yes, it can't be proven, but unless one accepts the space agencies as credible sources of information, then neither can the globe. So, if one is trying to prove that the earth is flat, that's an overreach, but if one holds the globe to the same standard, it is also an overreach.
I understand where you are coming from. I just don't have any idea what the sun is or even where the "other side of the planet" is, as far as exact layouts of the continents goes, so I am not comfortable extrapolating the sun's apparent motion into a shape of a planet.
Sorry gents and gals, my reply went off-line due to curfew (deserved) and therefor I "missed the boat" so to speak. Kinda relevant for the discussion here so blatantly paste again.
Refractional elevation of normally "invisible" images of objects such as coastlines....
Novaya Zemlya effect
Distorted image due to the mirage
The Novaya Zemlya effect is a polar mirage caused by high refraction of sunlight between atmospheric thermal layers. The effect will give the impression that the sun is rising earlier than it actually should, and depending on the meteorological situation, the effect will present the Sun as a line or a square—sometimes referred to as the rectangular sun—made up of flattened hourglass shapes.
The mirage requires rays of sunlight to have an inversion layer for hundreds of kilometres, and depends on the inversion layer's temperature gradient. The sunlight must bend to the Earth's curvature at least 400 kilometres (250 mi) to allow an elevation rise of 5° for sight of the solar disk.
The first person to record the phenomenon was Gerrit de Veer, a member of Willem Barentsz's ill-fated third expedition into the north polar region in 1596–1597. Trapped by the ice, the party was forced to stay for the winter in a makeshift lodge on the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya and endure the polar night.
On 24 January 1597, De Veer and another crew member claimed to have seen the Sun appear above the horizon, two full weeks prior to its calculated return. They were met with disbelief by the rest of the crew—who accused De Veer of having used the old Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar introduced several years earlier—but on 27 January, the Sun was seen by all "in his full roundnesse". For centuries the account was the source of skepticism, until in the 20th century the phenomenon was finally proven to be genuine.
Apart from the image of the Sun, the effect can also elevate the image of other objects above the horizon, such as coastlines which are normally invisible due to their distance. After studying the Saga of Erik the Red, Waldemar Lehn concluded that the effect may have aided the Vikings in their discovery of Iceland and Greenland, which are not visible from the mainland under normal atmospheric conditions.

I am indeed sat still on earth. Earth is not still I am told.
If you are stationary inside a bus, and the bus is moving, you are still stationary in relation to the bus. Same thing with Earth. So the observation must be done from Earth in relation to the sun.
A bus doesn't spin. The claim is the earth does.
The bus is enclosed. Try a convertible. Or bike.
When you are on a moving bus, you FEEL movement, even though you are stationary relative to the bus.
That's because the bus is much smaller than Earth.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into it. I appreciate it if no bugger else does.
I’m not a flat earther, but I will readily point out things that experientially do not make sense.

But your not alone when it comes to the moon.
The same creator(s) that made everthing, maybe?
A question that has no answer as the constant spin is a presumption. When I watch a basketball or football being spun on a finger it is indeed moving around its axis through to the finger hoding it up. It only began to spin when the human hand applied a pushing force to its surface.
