5.1 km @Logrian
We have context for the measurements
Cata, an yet we observe the horizon at 10 miles
RIP Glob
@Logrian where did you get that fact
Input of 0.5 ft height
Target distance is irrelevant for this demonstration
Do you know the 5 types of refraction @Pit Droid
I input T, P and dT/dh only goes up to that value on the simulation, where it is following the earth curve
Which gives us this result
@Logrian doesn't it have to do with the height of the object too
Which should be sufficient
an even if we go to 56 ft observer height we dont get ten miles Cata.
horizon doesnt have a height
How did you measure the distance to the horizon?
by knowing the distance beyond the towers an the observer hight, according to the glob model the MAX horizon is 1.22miles
Refraction shifts the position of the horizon away from the geometric horizon
@Logrian isn't the calculator based on the globe model
no, its basic geometry tangent
with the glob model R
Of a sphere the size of earth
pit, that silly
Pray why?
If someone disproves you. You should try to disprove them not call them silly
@Question For Your Life I'm honestly only aware of Refraction as the concept, not different types
Ice = positive T gradient ergo refraction around the curve.
Also your refraction is assuming an R value which doesnt exist in reality, thats wht its a model, an idea 😉
Seems to fit your obervation pretty well to me 🤔
