The sun and moon are in our atmosphere inside of the firmament. I have wondered about CMEs for a while concerning a flat Earth. If the sun is as close as you say why does it take 3 or 4 days for a CME to get to us?

The question suggests that a CME is caused by light. It’s not. The light of a CME takes minutes to reach earth—that is, we can “see it” because light travels at the speed of light (duh.)
The particles that actually cause the CME are traveling towards the earth at the rate they are ejected from the sun. Those things take 3-4 days to reach out into our orbit.
