Without being in the sky, it is impossible to see the curvature of the Earth. However, you can always see a demonstration of this if you visit a harbor or any place with a wide-open view of the water.

If you are able to watch a ship sail off to sea, watch its mast and flag as it fades off into the distance. You will notice that, in fact, it does not "fade off into the distance" at all; instead, you will see its mast and flag appear to slowly sink. The ship sailed beyond the point at which you would see it. Just to be sure, bring a pair of binoculars with you so that you can see even farther off into the distance.

It's as if you're watching it go over to the other side of a hill. This phenomenon can only be explained by a sphere-shaped planet.

explain this to me

earth is round

its a globe

Solar eclipses get all the attention, but if you are able to catch a glimpse of a lunar eclipse, you can see evidence that the Earth is, indeed, round. Here's how it works: Earth passes between the moon and sun, so that the sun projects Earth’s shadow onto the Moon in the night sky. You've probably seen a partial lunar eclipse without even noticing it; if the moon looks orange, that's a sign of a lunar eclipse. If you've ever seen a total lunar eclipse, you probably noticed that the shadow did not look like this.

Imagine a vast plane with but one tree smack in the middle. If the earth were flat, your vision would extend exactly as far while standing at the base of the tree as it would when at the top of the tree. However, the farther you climb, the farther your line of sight will extend to the horizon.

That's because parts of Earth that were concealed from view by its curvature are now revealed because your position has changed. Back to the vast plane. The naked eye can see objects that are millions of miles away in space. Theoretically, with a clear line of sight on a clear night, one would also be able to see bright lights from far-away cities. That this is not possible is further evidence of a round, not flat, Earth.

According to a 2008 paper in Applied Optics by David K. Lynch, the curvature of the earth becomes somewhat visible at an elevation of 35,000 feet (with a >60° field of view) and more easily visible at an elevation of 50,000 feet. So if you're on the right commercial flight, you might be able to see the curvature of the earth with your own two eyes.

In the event that you're not high enough, though, you can still experience the curvature of the earth another way. For example, if you were to fly all the way around the world, you'd find that it would be nighttime in part of the world and daytime in another part. In that way, the existence of time zones itself is proof that the Earth is round.

Taken another way, you wouldn't even need to travel through different time zones. Time zones are wide enough that you will see the sun rising and/or setting later in the western part of a time zone than in the eastern part. According to the Farmers' Almanac, the sun will rise and set roughly four minutes later for every 70 miles you drive from east to west.

If you wanted to combine this experiment with the previous one, you could note how much more of Earth you can see when you begin your ascent into the air than you can while you are sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off.

Earth is bloody round

Pick a nice spot from which you can watch a sunset (we'll call this point A). Ideally, you'd have a clear horizon in front of you, and behind you would be some sort of elevated point that you can quickly access (a hill, a building with at least two floors, or perhaps the aforementioned tree; we'll call this point B).

Watch the sunset from point A, and once the sun is out of sight, hurry on over to point B. With the added elevation provided by point B, you should be able to see the sun above the horizon. If Earth were flat, the sun would not be visible at any elevation once it had set. Because Earth is round, the sun will come back into your line of sight.

If you don't have a hill, you could even try lying on your stomach to watch the sunset and then standing up to get a higher line of sight.

@DoomCookie is a normal person. A normal person is someone who knows that the earth is bloody round

Prove that the earth is flat my pigster

poggers

best photoshop ever

explain the earth is flat

just explain

its already proven that the earth is round

so dont make it hard for urself

earth is round

mod abuse

explain why earth is flat

just explain

Ik zit lekker te schijten. En de mensen die denken dat de aarde plat is. Die mensen zijn dus een kwakkie stront op een stokkie

Vuile kanker imbecielen!

There are no such things as conspiracy

Round earth

Its round people

Prove me its flat

Explain to me

Earth is round

Hello brutha

Answer the question

There is no ice wall

Have you seen the ice wall @Derek Nelson ?

Exactly

Have you seen the ice wall <@560592734470144002> ?

Have you seen the ice wall <@560592734470144002> ?

Have you seen the ice wall @Derek Nelson ?

So if u did NOT see it there is no ice wall

cuz thats your belief

if you cant see it there is nothing

There is no ice wall

And the earth isnt flat

U cant fall of because its not flat

Explain

Lets get in the call

How do you know

Did you see it is flat?

Do you know how big this globe is?

explain with your words. You cant explain it

that they are not true

they are created by flatters

flatters dont think straight

you get it?

come talk in the lounge

lets talk

your images are bullshavik

You never flew?

come in the lounge

Derek

Come in the call

Are you afraid?

IF THE EARTH WAS FLAT THERE WOULD BE NO MAGNETIC FIELD #GRAVITY

magnetic fields protects us from sun radiation

magnetic fields are only on globes

not on a world flat as a pancake

no

and there is no such thing as fish eye lens

it doesnt exists

Explain the earth is flat. With your words

no pictures

I want to know if you understand your own bullshavik @Derek Nelson

no it doesnt

@Derek Nelson cuz u dont answer my questions here. And I can send you pics

Like u do all the time

A rocket flew into his building. Drone is dead

Earth is round to me

Eplaine midnight and day
