that last one doesn't make sense

Oh it does, it shows the sun shrinks, ergo moving away, an not millions of miles away

by that logic you'd still be able to see it at night

ive never seen it shrink

You know it 🙂

its always been the same size
also by the argument that last image gave wiuth the sun

@SirVagabondNYC can you show your work where you found that over 10 miles we should see 66.6 feet of drop?

sure brother...

the curvature equation is 8" per mile (squared)

so 10 squared is 100

100 * 8" = 800"

800" / 12 (to get feet)

is 66.6

yes.

that's a lot of feet

indeed

and?

Is it not 8 inches per mile?

7.96

8 inches per mile is a slope

not a curve

if its a slope then we all stand on a cone

7.96*10 ≠ 66 feet

you didnt square the miles brother

Well is it 7.96 per mile or per mile squared

per mile squared

the 7.96 is the inches that you have to multiply

to the distance

Why are we squaring a linear distance?
