@carlito On a plane
We could be able to see another country if the earth was flat but noo
No*
why can't i see space from where im standing during the day?
JUst take a plane somewhere and most likely you can see the curve
When you sail toward a ship, island, or lighthouse, their tallest points are the first thing to peek up over the curve of the horizon.
Because it's too bright
Because the solar radiation and light fills the sky. THAT'S WHY IT IS CALLED DAYTIME.
You can see curve there
ish
Lol my profile pic and nickname
and we can't see beyond the light..
No but seriously, please explain the flat earth
why can't we see beyond the daytime light?
Flat earth is fairly straightforward, if you line up a reference level parallel to the earth, it will remain parallel, Euclid's postulates apply to the surface
Flat
We know what flat means intuitively
WAVELENGTHS OF VISIBLE LIGHT. All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of this radiation—the portion we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum.
Yes
Fair enough
to answer your question, the reason why we can't see it all is because our eyes are limited to see a particular distance during the day
you have evidence that's not anecdotal? @Nostalgia
The visible spectrum has the highest energy in sunlight at the earth's surface, explaining the gross location of the visible spectrum in life on earth. The specific frequency range varies across species and can be explained by species-specific survival strategies.
ehh
no
t
really
Why am I unwilling to learn? I just asked to learn about the flat earth
Lol
The human eye can process only 400-700 nm. It's merely the way the body was made.
Hey @The Gwench 😄
If you were to fly upwards in a space vessel, you'd see 400-700 nm into space.
Wave optics and the Rayleigh Criterion demonstrate that the horizon would be finite distance on a flat earth, derived from angular resolution
yes, well i doubt our eye can see across the entire earth that's ludicrous
You're speaking my language.
If you wanted to see the curve you could put a camera on a weather balloon
