You're welcome to find where I messed up
Think about what you are saying
I did
5 foot object doesnt disappear at 300 feet
It does at 3 miles
Now you're catching on
It would vanish to the naked eye
At 300 feet the bottom few inches prolly start disappearing
Without a telescope
5 feet isn't too big
I would imagine it'd be hard to see from that far away
The bottom starts disappearing, sure. But that's assuming you can see it without using a telescope
Thats what we are talking about just human vision limits
Ok hun
The angle of light going into the retina
In the back of the eye
Yep
K
Would you care to explain how the sail of a sailboat does not become unresolvable gradually when aided by a telescope then
It does
It does
It doesn't
Sure it does
It becomes unresolved to the naked eye before it becomes unresolved with a telescope
It appears to sink and even starts blending with the sky
Telescope brings it back into view
If your theory was correct you would be able to see it vanish behind the horizon once with the naked eye then again while using a telescope
You do
You don't
Go watch a boat then use binoculars
I will
Ok
Let me know what you get
But if I don't see it sink twice you're gonna have to explain that to me
Ok
Nite
