102) “Some heliocentrists have tried to suggest that the Pole Star’s gradual
declination overhead as an observer travels southwards is proof of a globular
Earth. Far from it, the declination of the Pole Star or any other object is
simply a result of the Law of Perspective on plane (flat) surfaces. The Law of
Perspective dictates that the angle and height at which an object is seen
diminishes the farther one recedes from the object, until at a certain point
the line of sight and the seemingly uprising surface of the Earth converges to
a vanishing point (i.e. the horizon line) beyond which the object is invisible.
In the ball-Earth model the horizon is claimed to be the curvature of the
Earth, whereas in reality, the horizon is known to be simply the vanishing line
of perspective based on the strength of your eyes, instruments, weather and
altitude.”

First and foremost, every star's declination can be measured and verified through geographical latitude and rotation. Geographical latitude can be measured and verified by simply looking at the celestial pole. That also remains measurable and verifiable for either side of the globe, at any time of year, at any time of night, for every location in the world.
The following video provides a very simple explanation, why this is impossible on a flat earth:
