The steeper the angle the more it will be resolvable

2019-03-26 00:35:08 UTC  

that's not the right angle when talking about angular resolution

2019-03-26 00:35:27 UTC  

that's the angle of view, not angle for angular resolution

2019-03-26 00:35:39 UTC  

angular resolution is the arc length of the object in the field of view

Angular resolution doesn't obscure anything, it becomes diffracted and depends on aperture of optics

2019-03-26 00:36:13 UTC  

Imagine those verticak lines are towers or buildings

2019-03-26 00:36:30 UTC  

i'd still be able to see the bottom no matter how far

2019-03-26 00:36:36 UTC  

Notice where the observer height is

2019-03-26 00:36:37 UTC  

until the object itself disappears

2019-03-26 00:36:45 UTC  

this is a top view anyway

2019-03-26 00:36:54 UTC  

@YouRYou side view

2019-03-26 00:37:06 UTC  

Says top view right there

2019-03-26 00:37:29 UTC  

Cross sectional representation

2019-03-26 00:37:52 UTC  

shows that light from the bottom of the object would always hit my eye

2019-03-26 00:38:15 UTC  

Imagine the lines being 10 miles long

2019-03-26 00:38:31 UTC  

ok

2019-03-26 00:38:40 UTC  

The lines going from observer to bottom of poles will close first

2019-03-26 00:38:48 UTC  

Cuz the viewer is closer

2019-03-26 00:38:56 UTC  

what if the object is equally above and below my eye level

2019-03-26 00:39:05 UTC  

Guys who is a Jake pauler here?

2019-03-26 00:39:06 UTC  

does bottom still disappear first? because angle to the top of the object would be the same

2019-03-26 00:39:31 UTC  

Its about the angle

2019-03-26 00:39:32 UTC  

Wait doesn't the atmosphere act like a curved lense?

2019-03-26 00:39:46 UTC  

Imagine it like a pair of scissors

2019-03-26 00:39:47 UTC  

And it can cause it to bend light

2019-03-26 00:40:00 UTC  

When the angles close in the lens. The light is gone

2019-03-26 00:40:05 UTC

2019-03-26 00:40:13 UTC  

The light merges together

2019-03-26 00:40:21 UTC  

Eventually becoming a horizon line

2019-03-26 00:40:34 UTC  

Its still there..just unresolvable

2019-03-26 00:40:44 UTC  

Here's a video to go along with what he's saying.

2019-03-26 00:40:46 UTC  

that would happen to every part of the object simultaneously, not the bottom

2019-03-26 00:41:08 UTC  

@YouRYou no because the top of boat or mountain is further away from you

2019-03-26 00:41:14 UTC  

sup

2019-03-26 00:41:19 UTC  

how is it further

2019-03-26 00:41:22 UTC  

it's teh same distance away

2019-03-26 00:41:32 UTC  

Wrong

2019-03-26 00:41:33 UTC  

If im standing next to a building. What is further away the bottom or top?
