The Hebrew word for Firament is "raqiya" it means, an extended surface, expanse, Firmament. In short something used to support or hold back something else. The orginal defination say nothing to the shape.
In context it is used to describe the space between the ground and the place where the 'water from above'/clouds are kept.
and do you really need me to explain how light is possiable with out the sun?
