excellent!! Yes we have that. it was put together by the flat earth community by the way 😉. to educate the sheeple on Earth's supposed curvature
flat earthers are the scientists
heliocentrists the religious ones
the irony
"over 20 miles high, horizon still flat"
you can read! excellent 🙂
progress 💪
Should it be curving significantly at 20 miles high?
"3959-(3959*(COS(ASIN(L/3959))))" who wrote this equation lmao
we can't measure ANY curvature. anywhere. either land, sea or air
What's the ASIN for?
@Flat Earth PhD but should you be measuring curvature?
LMAO
what?!?!
Maybe the curvature is too little to measure at low altitudes?
Do you know how much curvature you should be measuring?
yes! it's above in that chart!!
8 inches per mile squared
at least for the first few hundred miles
That does not tell you how much the HORIZON should curve, I'm talking about whether it looks flat or not
we aren't measuring that as proof. it's too difficult
Then what's the point of an image saying the horizon looks flat?
You can't measure 8 inches per mile² looking at the horizon
I was addressing the point someone above made about shouldn't you be able to see the curvature
stop trolling
last warning
?
"but I'm not trolling"
Sure, go with that, anyway do you know why this chart uses ASIN(L/R)?
spherical geometry
Ok so the answer is because it's measuring straight line distance, not curved line distance, (it's also measuring normal to LOS drop, not drop normal to surface drop) which is not what it should be using for exact results
You could remove the ASIN and the equation would be perfectly valid
Assuming you're using radians
