I thought this was a serious channel

nah

im being serious

earth is dinosaur

No trolling please. Final warning.

@Boften_jkl so there is no curve cuz it bends equal to the curve?

at certain ranges yes

What about the times when the water and air are the same temperature

sorry how is that relevant

Lol

I thought u were claiming refraction

What causes refraction?

I am

light passing through mediums with different densities

What was the density of mile 50 in the 2014 world record photo

So its only the density of the medium. We can discount temperature inversion i guess

What is the density of the air where im at right now

If i travel 1 mile horizontally then what would the density be?

the density of what?

sorry one of us here must be having a stroke because from my perspective your just chatting out of your arse right now

oh never mind I see what your trying to say now

so if you travel 1 mile horizontally then the air density is going to decrease

why decrease?

Morning all.

👋🏻 hey

because if your travelling in a straight line on a spherical earth your going to decrease in altitude

Who said it was a sphere?

oh dedar

😂

K.

I dont know what else to say light curves around the earth because of refraction due to decrease in density with altitude

No...

U mean like this?

How does light curve around the Earth?

I am talking about atmospheric refraction not gravitational but yeah it would look something like that

<a:WumpusThumbsUp2:611211888595959842>

it refracts around the earth

I made an explanation let me copy and paste it for you

when you point a laser directly forward the laser starts to gain altitude and so the air around it is less dense since light bends away from the normal which would be 90 degrees directly into the sky it will follow the earths curve

There is no curve though.
