And if so, what happens when that satellite sets below the horizon?
Obviously, this will imply a disconnect and a loss of signal for
some period of time until your dish gets re-aimed at some different
satellite, but how long does THAT take?
maybe this will help you understand.. use a computer (not a mobile device)
to open this link.

That page does not answer the question.
What happens when the satellite you are talking to sets below the horizon?
the antenna knows which satellites are in range. it usually 'sees' at
least 3 satellites.
Elon Musk said that the time needed to 'move' from a satellite to
another will be of microseconds, unnoticeable.
I've been using Starlink already for a few months. While not perfect
yet, it is improving rapidly. 2-3 months ago I used to have minutes of
no satellite coverage per day, now it's down to seconds. the more
satellites SpaceX will launch, the better the coverage gets.
See more here, maybe this will help you understand:
