Imagine the Earth as a flat dish.
Imagine that the Sun has an orbit but the orbit is a circle, and the orbit is above the Earth. I think the orbit is suppose to be 53 miles above the Earth or the Sun’s diameter is 53 miles.
In any case, according to them, the Sun is very close to Earth and it is also very small.
The Sun rotates around the North pole axis.
In order to have different time zones, they believe that the Sun is like a projector, like a lightbulb with one of those cone hats on, so that it creates a light cone.
They believe that there is no such thing as gravity. The Sun is orbiting around the North pole axis. In other words, it orbits nothing. (The same goes for the Moon, other planets and everything).
Of course, in the above model, one would have to ask, what is the power source of the Sun.
Also, what is the temperature of the Sun.
How many photons does the Sun emit? How much in terms of joules?
This would also mean that the Sun would never set. A flat earther will tell you that sunsets are an illusion. The same goes for the Moon and everything.
As the Sun makes its orbit, it would appear to get radically smaller as it moves away from you and get radically larger as it moves closer.
