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

Oh but moon tho

Can’t u see it

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

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

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

if someone wanted to test that

Does a boat sink when it’s farther or not

I’m talking irl

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

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

yea

Yeah I guess

Why does it do that

Sink

If u wanna call it that

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

though obv ppl on here would disagree

So the boat is curving around slowly

from your perspective at least

And it looks like it’s sinking for you?

pretty much?

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

so it'd appear to go down

That’s what I thought but people keep showing images that debunk it or something

Flat earth believers

Are they true

Or like

ive commonly seen explanations that use like

lensing from the air

like a mirage

ive also seen some that just flat out say it doesnt happen but those ones are kinda dumb

though the mirage theory doesnt make sense

air above the ocean is typically less dense due to warm water vapor evaporating from the water heating it up

and if that's the case the boat should appear above the horizon

the air would need to be colder close to the ocean for the boat to appear to sink

Are lunar eclipses proof of earth being round?

no

The shadow is it actually earth

no we can't verify that

Sun light is blocked from earth and makes a shadow on the moon which looks circular
