If the globe model didn't exist till the 14th century, what was it before ? Why did it change ? Maybe cause it was proven it was round ?
well all ancient societies, including their scientists and scholars, believed it was flat
all of the ancient signs pointing to astrological symbols come from those initial calculations.
when they said the sun moves through the sky, they meant literally
sunrise is basically the sun coming into our view
and sunset is sun leaving our view
it's perspective, which is why the sun looks slightly bigger at noon then at sunrise/set
thinking about it as if you're on a straight desert road.... assuming the headlights coming toward you are bright enough, they seem to come from under the horizon, get larger and then the tail lights do the reverse when traveling away from you
now image those headlights being thousands of times larger, and placed in the sky thousands of miles up.
as for why it changed. I honestly can't answer that. I personally feel like it was for better control of society.
the idea of a flat stationary earth has NEVER been disproven, they can't. That's the biggest misconception.
