Or, depending on the temperature gradient, the opposite happens and you get the affect you see on a hot road

theres many types of refraction, not just one btw

Do enlighten me

well I was asking for you maths

that show from 5 inches theres a 7 miles of refraction

btw refracted horizon is a flat earth claim 😉

Good for you 👍

Bare with while I type all this on my phone

rite o

Isnt air temperature refraction really small

irrelevent

@Logrian what do you mean that we don't have a physical horizon

what do ships disappear over?

Curvature

which is a physical horizon, correct?

Water is physical

So yes

I still don't know what you mean by "physical horizon"

so we can calculate the distance to this physical bulge of curve, correct?

Explain to me what a physical horizon is

you just told me

Water

Just to be on the same page

or land

the bulge of a curve blocks your view yes?

Ok

so we can now calculate at which point this accurs yes?

It's somewhere between you and the boat on the water

so given the height of the observer and the distance to the physical bulge curve what is this distance, search for a horizon calculator an tell me the results, or screenshot an post, thanks

I think it has to do more with perspective

You still there typing@Pit Droid

you are not doing as I asked you

why?

I'm on .y phone

well you can search the website

theres many

then add the calculations

Right ugh that was painful on a phone

Using this
