You will note as you continue to slowly spin the Globe that at the very same spot where you first came in contact with the light will be the same place where it will exist, meaning; where the sun-rose will be the place where the Sun will set, thereby, we would see the Sun setting in our skies at the very same spot we see it rise which of course isn't what most of us see.

Sun will go up until the middle and then sink back eastwards. And no, earth is not flat. There is another solution. . [/quote]
