Well, as the sun sets on a globe, the rays from the sun are indeed below the level of the cloud, which is basically impossible in a flat earth situation.
I looked up some of the FE theories on this aspect, and they all seem to revolve around this concept of perspective. Unfortunately for the FE theories, light and shadow don't change based on an observers perspective. If something is lit from below it's because the light source has a line of sight to the underside of it.
There are sunset pictures of the top of a mountain that is casting a shadow of the peak onto the underside of a cloud. No matter what my perspective of the view is, the sun must be below the level of the cloud and indeed the mountain in order for this to occur.
There are aspects with a globe earth too that I have issue with, but a globe earth is more consistent with the things we actually see day to day, whereas the FE theories always seem to be a bit of a stretch (at best) and clearly wrong in others.
I haven't looked, but what is the FE explanation of tides?
Not sure why it doesn't make sense, but keep digging as you feel inspired.
As to tides, we first have to explain why the great lakes don't have any tides. They're plenty big enough to be "pulled by the moon". The establishment explanation doesn't make much sense.
The tides are caused by electrical conductivity and electrolysis that only occur within salt water (NaCl - great conductor of electricity). Also another complex topic. But this certainly explains why there are no tides in large bodies of freshwater lakes/seas. A conundrum that's poorly explained by establishment science.
