I'm talking about how curved the horizon will look
Also, for the image you showed, it's probably better to use the curved distance for d1 and d2 for more accurate results
The formula doesn't become too complicated either
So what results did you get? How curved should the horizon be viewed at an angle of almost 0° ?
Almost 0°? Are you looking through a tiny slit?
Also you'd need to give me a value for the height
The angle is extremely small as the horizon line is far away / is set by the distance you are able to look
As for size lets assume 180cm
Are you talking about horizontal angle or vertical angle?
The vertical angle will be found out by the formula
The horizontal angle should be given
So you should tell me how wide your vision is, in degrees
Ok I'll give you an example
Could you send a small sketch?
At a height of 50km, if you take a picture with a 40° horizontal angle of view, the maximum angle that the horizon drops due to the way it's curved is 0.434°, which is about the angular size of the moon, meaning at the very edge of your picture there could be the moon sitting between the space where a flat horizon would be and where a curved horizon is
I'll send you a model
Or rather just a screenshot of one
Unless you have 3D calculator
Ok thx and do you also have a picture that proves the model?
hi
The horizon is a blue circle
You'll see, rn I'm adjusting it a little so it doesn't look too messy
ok guys convince me
Look around you what do you see
earth
Round or flat?
you know earth is gigantic so i couldnt tell from my view

Then look at the sea
No curvature
why do i see the sun going down at the horizon then
if the sun goes in a parallel circular motion above the earth
One cannot say what shape the earth is with only observations
you cant tell between a flat earth or a sphere of size beyond brain thinking
the difference between both is negligible
if i see it turn and move i can tell
