The photons further away you will still see

Photons can travel at any angle, any direction

The angular resolution of the eye is .02 degrees

Im talking about the photons traveling directly to your eye

Every square millimeter of the object has multiple photons reflecting off it traveling towards your retinas

I just said that

Ok good

Now the angle of each photon is what we are considering

The angular resolution

You are talking about blurring

The steeper the angle, the less you can resolve

Yes

Blurring is indeed associated with a reduction of angular resolution

But

Once the light hits .02 degrees, your eye can no longer resolve the image

It becomes a dot or line

The horizon line

A portion of an object disappearing completely is not angular resolution

I'll let you know, I served in the Navy and was my crew's primary Lookout

Thats awesome

So I have a great deal of experience looking out at ships with binoculars

Just because you were told the horizon is the curves edge doesnt mean its true

They didnt properly explain optics to you

And also.

Sure but first of all, I don't see why anyone would lie about that and secondly, no other explanation makes sense to me

If you did the curvature math for distance objects then you would of known the earth is flat

Add in angular resolution

Its flat

Bro

You seem very intelligent

If the Earth was flat, objects would always disappear by becoming too small to see

Why thank you

You cant think of one reason why the government or military would lie?

@BubbleBurster i just explained to you how angular resolution works

The angle matters

The eye or lens work the same

No matter what angle you view an object from, it appears or disappears the same way

It cant resolve it if the light as on a shallow angle
