Do you know how relativity works? Especially when enclosed within a pressurised system (atmosphere).
When you fly on a plane you don't feel like you are moving hundreds of miles an hour...same concept.
Airplanes move within the confines of that pressurized system. Like if I were to walk on a train.
When I visit the other side of the world it is dark there when it is day here, how do you even attempt to explain that in flat Earth world?
If you don't understand temperature from the sun affecting poles differently on a spinning globe...flat Earth will not help you explain that.
Roads, railroads, canals, etc like houses can easily accommodate curvature...which is so much less of an incline than normal hills. I live on the side of a hill in a hilly area...
The Bible says under the firmament (atmosphere) not dome. When you reach the Antarctic or even South America does the sky become closer? Is it farther away at the Artic?
I agree Antarctica is suspicious.
You can see the curvature of the Earth in videos of space, even from amateurs who launch weather balloons.
Sun's distance from us and relation to moon is more a matter of God's provision than FE.
You can't see through the moon...
It actually does say Dome - or def implies something solid. Take a look at a good number of other, accurate, translations, including the Jewish Bible translated directly from the Hebrew:

Also check out the word translated "Expanse/Firmament/Dome" - Raqia
https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7549.htm "רָקִיעַ noun masculineGenesis 1:6 extended surface, (solid) expanse (as if beaten out; compare Job 37:18)"
Almost all photos showing a curvature are using a fish eye lens
Yeah I'm not saying we understand everything about the firmament, especially at the time of the Earth's creation, but it doesn't imply dome afaik.
The firmament may have been much more "solid" (perhaps pre fall). Who know what kind of effect that had on climate, magnetic field, gamma rays, etc? I trust scripture above our current understandings, I just don't think it implies FE.
