The inverse square law makes things dimmer. It doesn't make it appear to be in two different positions for two different observers.

Here's a diagram of what I'm talking about: https://files.catbox.moe/b804ni.png

As you can see, on the flat earth model, it looks like there are two different suns. One of them is only visible to observer 1, and one of them is only visible to observer 2. It just doesn't make sense to me, and the inverse square law doesn't seem to fix it.

As you can see at the bottom of the diagram, a globe earth model does fix it. Only one sun is necessary.

I mean that the sun doesn‘t go down when it is dark. It‘s light merely doesn‘t reach us, hence inverse square law.

Look at how incredibly bright the moon is when full. Now look at the videos of when they were on the moon. It was dim. Should have been blindingly bright.

Makes no sense. It should have been brighter than the full moon appears to us. (Inverse square law.)

That video I posted above is great. We don‘t have all the answers but what we‘ve been told is false.

Friend, I have watched the sunset. I have been outside and watched it.

Yes, a light gets dimmer when it gets farther away. The rate at which it gets dimmer is governed by the inverse square law. You are correct about that. But the sun doesn't get dimmer it "sets" - it goes below the horizon. And you can build an instrument yourself (not NASA, not government scientists who could like to you - you can do this yourself) to measure the apparent size of the sun at full noon and at sunset and you can see that it's not getting markedly farther away.

It doesn't get dimmer. It goes below the horizon. Other people, in other parts of the world still see it above the horizon. I'm asking you to explain the position, not the brightness.
