    So how does night time exist in a model like this? It looks like the sun just rotates above the Earth?

      If i know right, they think the sun has much less power than usual, so it works like a spotlight. So its light wont reach the territories under the moon

        Of course. That explains why when day transitions to night you see the Sun zoom off into the distance until it diminishes to nothing, with the Moon zooming in from the opposite direction until it’s big enough to see.
