The steeper the angle the more it will be resolvable
that's not the right angle when talking about angular resolution
that's the angle of view, not angle for angular resolution
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
Imagine those verticak lines are towers or buildings
i'd still be able to see the bottom no matter how far
Notice where the observer height is
until the object itself disappears
this is a top view anyway
Says top view right there
Cross sectional representation
shows that light from the bottom of the object would always hit my eye
Imagine the lines being 10 miles long
ok
The lines going from observer to bottom of poles will close first
Cuz the viewer is closer
what if the object is equally above and below my eye level
does bottom still disappear first? because angle to the top of the object would be the same
Its about the angle
Wait doesn't the atmosphere act like a curved lense?
Imagine it like a pair of scissors
And it can cause it to bend light
When the angles close in the lens. The light is gone
The light merges together
Eventually becoming a horizon line
Its still there..just unresolvable
Here's a video to go along with what he's saying.
that would happen to every part of the object simultaneously, not the bottom
@YouRYou no because the top of boat or mountain is further away from you
sup
how is it further
it's teh same distance away
Wrong
If im standing next to a building. What is further away the bottom or top?
