Claim it kills: on flat Earth a nearby Sun sliding toward the horizon must shrink. On a globe it basically doesn't; it sets because the horizon tips past it. Real sunsets match the globe pane.
Four views (globe/flat × camera/side), local-plane or Gleason-map flat paths, location/date/refraction controls. Maths and in-browser tests linked from the site.
