You agree that the horizon line is not actually real, and is an effect of perspective? Therefore the horizon line is higher than it actually is? Anything that touches and moves beyond that horizon line will be merged with it, becoming extremely compressed, as well as being hidden by the densest air. The top of the sun isn't yet touching the horizon line, nor passing through the densest possible air. It itsead becomes enlarged due to atmospheric lensing, further adding to the illusion that it is not getting smaller/further away. Gif related shows how it get smaller, then bigger, then smaller again, due to the atmosphere.

Says the brainlet that thinks the sun is 93 million miles away.

The diameter does change brainlet, see gif.

>why it isn’t visible above the earth from all parts of it
Because it's a local sun that moves closer and further away. If it's too far away then you cannot see it, it will be below the horizon line due to perspective's convergence merging everything into the horizon line.

That's true and it does get slower as it sets, gif related.
