the sun is close, at 3,400 miles away roughly
as it travels in a circle warming the land masses
Can we stay on the topic of refraction please
water vapor will vary depending on what time of day it is
I know, I just want a simple diagram
if the sun is directly overhead, its hotter
to explain how the refraction affects how you see the ship
you can draw it in paint for all I care I just want a diagram
the crude diamgram is meant to show that you see thru less water vapor the higher you up in height
so the water vapor bends light towards the water?
as you get closer to the ground you are looking thru more water vapor
wait no sorry
water vapor doesn't bend light
my bad
water vapor blocks your view as you look thru more of it
fair enough, but at no point should water vapor look like water exactly, unless it's, well, water
it is water
and if you look thru enough it will block your view
although they are similar, the vapor means the particles are more spread out
its like trying to look at something thru the rain
you look thru enough of it and that too will block your view
But that's actually liquid water. If you look through enough of anything it will block your view.
pretty much
Of course. *But*
Stacking water vapor on top of water vapor doesn't make it look like liquid water
yes, its like looking through layers of water
Atmosphere ..for rough "round" numbers, ..is 20% OXY and 80% Nitrogen , roughly
Well, no, it's not. Water vapor does not look like water
pretty much
your missing the point, your ship experiment proves the earth is flat, not round
How?
Here's another thing for you to look at Firefly
and SPEED IT UP (the footage)

.another thing for you to look into .... "fata morgana"
Okay, watching now
I know what that is
this is fata morgana
it's a superior mirage
ok, sure, mr Chicago Weatherman
uhm ..itd be inverted / upside down, if that were the case
