Don't worry about it. As soon as I posted that link and capture from the video, I realized it was not the same one that I was thinking of. Since then I have been going through my bookmarked videos and my favorited videos and my video history to try to find the one I had just seen a few days ago, and so far have not found it.
That video - six hours of Eric Dubay? I would rather . . .
The sun does not get smaller and gradually disappear. It stays the same size until it dips below the horizon.
What?
Take a ride in an airplane. Flat Earth is now impossible. Sydney to Santiago.
I am guessing you are exaggerating for effect.
. . . you need a basketball to cover the sun.

There is a video, as an example, with a title something like, "Flat Earth Totally Debunked" where the author only had one argument, which is "the sun is always the same size" while standing next to his telescope...
...Problem is that he never actually showed anything that came through his telescope to back up what he was saying.
He did not even mention how you would go about determining what the size of the sun is.
The Sun never gets that small and no one thinks it does as you describe.
Why would anyone need a telescope to tell them that the apparent size of the Sun does not shrink to a tiny dot due to perspective, until it can no longer be seen at sunset?
At 5:25 the expert here is basically saying you are stupid to think you can get more accurate than that anyway at those kinds of distances.
Unless, of course, you can show your math.
Then you made it up? About the 1/64th inch?
It is sort of impossible to calculate.
Why? Do you think the target is not rotating too?
If you were calculating it the way the guy in your video explained it, that the earth is moving under the traveling bullet, then it would miss by about 700 feet.
Yeah. I didn't think you understood the concept. Here's a hint:
So, really, I don't have any idea where they get this idea of how the rotation of the earth makes a bullet always miss to one side.
You don't know much except flat Earth nonsense. We know that.
As far as I know, no one takes into consideration, rotation, or a spherical nature of the earth when calculating ballistics.
There are government and military documents that have become public that state that you must always consider the earth as a flat plane when making calculations about artillery or rockets.
Also there is a declassified CIA document on the nature of the shape of the earth that says it is a flat plane but it has not been determined the exact outer shape or the total size of it.
