I’ll tell you
.001
That’s flat
Sure, that might be accurate yes.
Flatter then flat actually
A large spherical earth is reasonably flat locally
So you have 5 square mile section of earth that for all observation and measurements is flat
It is very un-flat over larger distances
So you have 5 square mile section of earth that for all observation and measurements is flat
Well not really
Right?
These fractions can confuse you
So .001 degrees is bend you can see with your make eye
The drop is still about 16 feet
On a line 5 miles long?
Yeah you need precise measurements for it
2 sek
Can you see .001 degrees of curve in a line 5 miles long?
Or would it look perfectly straight
Just look at the picture
No
No need to read anything

Hmmm, only 5 miles? 16 feet of drop.......... Not without an extremely good methodology
Don’t tell me drop
Idiot
Can you see .001 degrees of curve in a line 5 miles long?
Can i ask what discusssion youre talking about right now?
But over 40 miles?
You'll see this:
If a line was 17,000 feet long
Look at the picture
Why don’t you answer?
