We are on a ball, and that's how it works. Stop making contradictory statements and try to prove what you are saying mathematically.
I already said that the motion of the stars is so small, they are "fixed" insofar as anything practical is concerned. Does not pose any problem with the Earth being a globe. It poses a problem for you, because in a flat Earth, we should be seeing only a hemisphere of stars, but in reality we see a complete spherical distribution of stars. Not because we have communication with those who live on the undersurface of a flat Earth, but because the Earth is a globe.
The stars do not orbit the Earth. They are light-years away (determined by measurement). The Earth rotates on its axis and to us it looks like they are moving around. Get on a merry-go-round some time and see how that works.
The sky would look the same---because the sky doesn't care what we look like. But we would only be seeing half of the sky, since a flat Earth cannot see the sky beneath it. As it is, we see the whole sky, only possible with a spherical Earth.
You pooh-pooh the rotation of the Earth because you are evidently incapable of computing the acceleration it produces, to find its magnitude and compare it to normal gravity. Thus, you defend your ignorance by hiding in ignorance.
