a suspension of water droplets

Apply the ideal gas law to nitrogen and water

2020-02-15 22:18:55 UTC  

Does air actually limit how far you see

2020-02-15 22:19:00 UTC  

humid air is less dense than dry air

2020-02-15 22:19:53 UTC  

hey even scale the molar dencity by the nitrogen percent and it still ends up being less dense

2020-02-15 22:20:13 UTC  

If not and earths flat I should surely (without any buildings or etc blocking my sight ) be able to see Russia

2020-02-15 22:20:39 UTC  

i mean it does

2020-02-15 22:20:45 UTC  

At the same time if air does limit my sight I though can see the sun

2020-02-15 22:20:47 UTC  

Stars

2020-02-15 22:20:50 UTC  

Moon

2020-02-15 22:20:59 UTC  

the atmosphere is fairly flat

2020-02-15 22:21:15 UTC  

stuff that's directly above you has relatively little air blocking its path

2020-02-15 22:21:23 UTC  

whereas stuff close to the horizon has a lot

2020-02-15 22:21:40 UTC  

hence why the sky is lighter close to the horizon

2020-02-15 22:21:43 UTC  

Yeah but when the sun is about to set

2020-02-15 22:21:47 UTC  

I can still see it

2020-02-15 22:21:52 UTC  

fog can limit your vision
Fog only happens at 100% humidity but being more humid dosnt make less transparent

2020-02-15 22:21:53 UTC  

it's pretty damn bright

2020-02-15 22:22:00 UTC  

it's a lot easier to look at when it's that low

2020-02-15 22:22:04 UTC  

Oh but moon tho

2020-02-15 22:22:24 UTC  

Can’t u see it

2020-02-15 22:22:25 UTC  

when the moon is low on the horizon it often looks orange

2020-02-15 22:22:43 UTC  

cause a lot of the light closer to blue is being cut out by the air

2020-02-15 22:23:12 UTC  

you'd still be able to say, see a strong floodlight pointed at you if you had a telescope though

2020-02-15 22:23:16 UTC  

if someone wanted to test that

2020-02-15 22:25:11 UTC  

Does a boat sink when it’s farther or not

2020-02-15 22:25:15 UTC  

I’m talking irl

2020-02-15 22:25:30 UTC  

I don’t wanna hear flat or round earth evidence stuff

2020-02-15 22:25:31 UTC  

like does it appear below the horizon when it's far away?

2020-02-15 22:25:35 UTC  

yea

2020-02-15 22:25:37 UTC  

Yeah I guess

2020-02-15 22:26:10 UTC  

Why does it do that

2020-02-15 22:26:12 UTC  

Sink

2020-02-15 22:26:18 UTC  

If u wanna call it that

2020-02-15 22:27:03 UTC  

well imo its cuz the horizon is the point where the earth's curvature blocks your view of distant objects like boats

2020-02-15 22:27:13 UTC  

though obv ppl on here would disagree

2020-02-15 22:27:30 UTC  

So the boat is curving around slowly

2020-02-15 22:27:41 UTC  

from your perspective at least

2020-02-15 22:27:42 UTC  

And it looks like it’s sinking for you?

2020-02-15 22:27:55 UTC  

pretty much?

2020-02-15 22:28:20 UTC  

the earth's surface would start to get in the way and obscure it from the bottom up
