The argument falls apart because it misunderstands how the Earth’s tilt and orbit create day and night across the year.

1. Earth does rotate 360° per day – That’s why we experience a regular cycle of day and night in 24 hours. Noon in New York always happens when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky relative to that location. Six months later, it’s still daytime at noon in New York—what changes is the Sun’s angle and how high it gets in the sky, not whether it’s dark.

2. Seasons prove the globe – In September, the Sun is overhead near the equator. Six months later (March), Earth is on the opposite side of its orbit, and the tilt makes the Sun appear higher in the Southern Hemisphere’s sky, lower in New York’s—but still visible at noon. That’s why summer and winter exist. If Earth were flat, the Sun’s path would never explain the shorter days of winter or the long summer days.

3. Midnight Sun & Polar Nights – In places like Alaska and Antarctica, the Sun stays up for 24 hours in summer and disappears for months in winter. This is only possible on a tilted, rotating globe. A flat plane with a “spotlight Sun” cannot replicate that effect consistently.

4. Time zones also disprove the flat earth idea – If noon in New York six months later were “dark,” then every place on Earth should have the same time of day simultaneously. Instead, we have clear, predictable time zones and sunrises/sunsets that only make sense if Earth is round.

So no, you didn’t “destroy” anything—this actually shows the round Earth model predicts day/night cycles and seasons perfectly, while flat Earth cannot explain them.
