Sunsets are simple. The sun is local and is moving away from you.

Then sunsets would not be possible.And, instead of a disk sinking below the horizon, the sun would shrink to a point, then circle around low in the sky before growing again.
How far did you say the sun was above the earth? How big is it?

The sun goes into the vanishing point / horizon (the limit of how far you can see). The light refraction through the atmosphere makes it seems the same size. Like how the moon looks big when it's low on the horizon.
The sun is about the same height as the moon above the earth and about the same size.
