The horizontal angle should be given

2020-03-10 08:52:15 UTC  

So you should tell me how wide your vision is, in degrees

2020-03-10 08:54:29 UTC  

Ok I'll give you an example

2020-03-10 08:54:31 UTC  

Could you send a small sketch?

2020-03-10 08:56:13 UTC  

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

2020-03-10 08:56:49 UTC  

I'll send you a model

2020-03-10 08:57:12 UTC  

Or rather just a screenshot of one

2020-03-10 08:57:20 UTC  

Unless you have 3D calculator

2020-03-10 08:57:20 UTC  

Ok thx and do you also have a picture that proves the model?

2020-03-10 08:58:17 UTC  

hi

2020-03-10 09:00:44 UTC  

Eh well it's literally showing the POV of a point above a sphere

2020-03-10 09:00:51 UTC  

The horizon is a blue circle

2020-03-10 09:01:05 UTC  

You'll see, rn I'm adjusting it a little so it doesn't look too messy

2020-03-10 09:19:48 UTC  

ok guys convince me

2020-03-10 09:23:54 UTC  

Look around you what do you see

2020-03-10 09:24:00 UTC  

2020-03-10 09:24:00 UTC  

earth

2020-03-10 09:24:01 UTC  

Round or flat?

2020-03-10 09:24:24 UTC  

you know earth is gigantic so i couldnt tell from my view

2020-03-10 09:24:28 UTC  

2020-03-10 09:25:44 UTC  

Then look at the sea

2020-03-10 09:25:51 UTC  

No curvature

2020-03-10 09:25:54 UTC  

why do i see the sun going down at the horizon then

2020-03-10 09:26:22 UTC  

if the sun goes in a parallel circular motion above the earth

2020-03-10 09:27:44 UTC  

One cannot say what shape the earth is with only observations

@Kenny why not

2020-03-10 09:30:12 UTC  

you cant tell between a flat earth or a sphere of size beyond brain thinking

2020-03-10 09:30:24 UTC  

the difference between both is negligible

2020-03-10 09:30:34 UTC  

if i see it turn and move i can tell

2020-03-10 09:30:49 UTC  

uh

how.......

2020-03-10 09:31:02 UTC  

But do you feel it turn?

2020-03-10 09:31:06 UTC  

ball is dead. cope

i think @Flatty from Cincinnati cant imagine the size of the earth

2020-03-10 09:31:35 UTC  

ah, yes
oil fields

2020-03-10 09:31:59 UTC  

Size doesnt matter when tracking motion...
