Here are some questions you can ask yourself. Where is the plane of the eye? What is the relative angle between the surface of target and the plane of the eye? Given that angle , what is the angular separation of the points of light on that target?

Notice the blue cones angle compared to the orange cone. The blue cones angle will lose the light first on the bottom and the ground will start to blur with the object but if you raise in height the resolution will increase shown with the orange cone because the angle of light hitting the retina or camera is made larger. Once the angle becomes too shallow the light turns into a line or Edge. Think of buildings or boats or mountains not as objects but as quadrillions of points of light or photons coming to your retina at different angles and some will become non-resolvable before others. The ones closest to you disappear first as you back away. You will see the ground running up to the horizon then see the horizon as a line and will see things like the sky still or if there's a mountain or building you will still see the top parts but eventually those will also become unresolvable as they get further away and the angle changes.
Next eratosthenes
Ok
Disprove that
Also. They didn't even have clocks back then. They couldn't have known when it was exactly noon in Alexandria if they were in syene
When the sun is exactly above one stick they couldn't have know when that was 400 miles away. They had no clock. No phone. No radio.
The story is nothing more than a myth
Plus it works for a flat earth or a globe earth
Just make assumptions first.
Eratosthenes made 5 assumptions
All were wrong
It works for both.
Stop denying
Hypothesis 1
Hypothesis 2
Same.
What abt the fact that with a telescope you can see other planets that are spheres
Or the fact that satalites orbit the earth
And the fact that it's night on one half of the earth and day on the other side
balloons with relay antennae
ha ha
balloon satellite constellation relay network
If the earth is shaped like that
Then explain a lunar eclipse
The earth projects it's shadow of a round earth
Satellites are seen moving at 17,500 mph. They also don't look like those balloons.
What abt the people who have been to the international space station
And have said the earth is round
