How does the sail disappear so fast then

Wouldn't it have to travel much further to disappear?

The sail disapears last cuz its further away from you

Ok

Imagine the sail isnt a sail

Its billions and trillions of points of light

Trillions of photons coming to your eye

Those photons are on a steeper angle than the hull compared to your position on the beach

The sail is higher up

Steeper angle

Will be resolvable longer

See how the light blends together on right side of hallway faster than left side

Cuz the camera is closer to right side

The angle is more shallow

But the hallway doesnt curve

We know that

Yet we lose the door frames and picture frames

Oh lord

See the building you are closer to becomes less reasolvable than the building further away

Satan never could understand optics

I'm gonna have to continue this in a bit I gotta get back to work

In the meantime what's the distance that is required for a ship to fully disappear relative to its height

5 ft at about 15000 feet

Which means you lose objects at 5ft tall at about 3 miles

K cya

Why do we never use binoculars or telescopes to spot the object when it gets away

You can go try it

Z what would you say the distance is when we see no further
Like at what distance the object disappears and our eyes reach vanishing point

5 foot tall object will be mostly gone with human eye at around 3 mile

Okay

And it doesn't need to obstructed by anything? Our vision just reaches it limit?

Our vision has a limit yes

Globe model says its earth obstructing

Flat model says its our vision and the way light works
