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
5.1 km @Logrian
We have context for the measurements
Cata, an yet we observe the horizon at 10 miles
@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.
@Logrian not observer height
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
