This is such a misconstrued scale meant to be derisive against flat earthers. The accurate representation is a circle with cloud shrouded ice damns along the edge of the planet.
It's still dumb but should be accurate to what they believe.
And the sun should be a little ball above the Earth. Exactly how high and how big is not sure.
You also shouldn't ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.
Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you're just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.
Explanations for lunar and solar eclipses get silly too. Mercury and Venus passing in front of the sun is just ignored as it wouldn't fit between the Earth and the sun.
