Only if you assume the sun is 93 million miles away. It isn't. More like 3-4000 miles away, and of course much smaller. Turn a flashlight on and set it down (light shining down) on a table. Start raising the light straight up and see how far it would need to be picked up for the light to cover the whole table. That will give you the concept.
Another FACT..the human eye can only see about 12 miles unobstructed.
The eye can see 12 miles unobstructed in an atmosphere. This is because the atmosphere diffracts and diffuses the light that passes through it. The more atmosphere light passes through, the more it’s scattered.
The sun is 93 million miles away, and other stars even further away, yet we can see them because there’s no air in between them and us beyond our own atmosphere, which isn’t thick enough to completely absorb or diffuse the light.
Human eyes are not restricted to 12 miles, they can see as far as light can travel to them.
They still fail to tell us how the sun and moon work.
The entire Earth would be in daylight, but only half is. Explain that.
