Alex failed to understand the meaning of that which he was looking at.
The world below him looked not much different from the other worlds he had seen from outer space, with them mostly appearing as a giant piece of floating rock where one side of it was flat, allowing for an atmosphere to gather atop it and for life to settle within it.
The Land of the Blessed Sun was larger than all of them, but it still looked the same.
Except, the surface of this world was not flat like all the other ones. This one had enough of a curvature to it that it was easily noticeable from outer space.
That meant, the surface of this world wasn't uniform like all the other ones. This meant that the day wasn't the same either. If the sun were to still shine on the western end of this world, the eastern end would most likely have been swallowed by shadows long ago.
The curvature made sure it did.
