Problem

If you are standing at the equator at sunrise, where must you point a laser
cannon to hit the Sun dead center?  Assume that the Sun is stationary and
that the Earth's orbit around it is circular.

Show solution

You aim it at the center of the sun.  The sun is exactly in the place where it
appears to be.  It is true that the sun wasn't on the horizon 8 minutes
ago (the specific number is 2 degrees), when it emitted the light you
are now seeing.  However, "the sun wasn't on the horizon" doesn't mean
the sun moved; it means the horizon moved.
