A round shadow crossed over a round object. This does not sound like a thing that would happen if we were on a plane with all of the celestial bodies simply hovering overhead—or, perhaps more assinine, if the sun were orbiting Earth and not vice versa. The last total lunar eclipse took place on January 31, 2018, but it was not visible in most of the United States. Fear not, as you only have to wait a few months for one that will be visible in the Americas on July 27, 2018.
3. Climb a tree
Imagine a vast plane with but one tree smack in the middle. If the earth were flat, your vision would extend exactly as far while standing at the base of the tree as it would when at the top of the tree. However, the farther you climb, the farther your line of sight will extend to the horizon.
That's because parts of Earth that were concealed from view by its curvature are now revealed because your position has changed.
Back to the vast plane. The naked eye can see objects that are millions of miles away in space. Theoretically, with a clear line of sight on a clear night, one would also be able to see bright lights from far-away cities. That this is not possible is further evidence of a round, not flat, Earth.

1. Perspective. Angular resolution. Optical slant.
2. Selenelion. You have no clue wtf is going on with the sun or moon.
Umm I do
Climb a tree?
We've climbed mountains.
Climb a tree? Thats the same as number 1
@🎃Oakheart🎃 he is saying you see more when you get higher
I have a A+ in astronomy
@🎃Oakheart🎃 he doesnt understand perspective
That's great
@Madd_the_human have you ever read the book kings dethroned?
No
Have you ever challenged what you were told?
By what means
Every means
Yes
Ok. Well i think you should read that book
Ships appearing to disappear in the horizon can be a result of A: Heat, B: General air quality and pollution, C: Fog or haze in the distance, D: Optical Illusions, ships can appear to float and sink, D: Much more.
Wouldn't the ship appear to sink if it was going into the horizon? Oh, but wait.
Its how light works
Umm you can
Its not called angular resolution for no reason
How could a ship go far enough that we can see it sink, yet NASA says we can't see the horizon.
Ever been on a airplane and looked out the window
Incorrect.
You and see the curve of the earth
Warped glass, curved glass.
You dont see a curve regardless
He is lying
Have you tried my trick tho
What trick
The one I just said
Looking out a plane window?
Looking out a window isn't a trick.
😂
Are any of you guys going to the ice wall?
No
I want to go
They dont let you
