Look , these are the same distances. Obviously the angles are not the same. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468569265574903818/unknown.png I can make it even more extreme... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468569771735253012/unknown.png But guess what....the top of the building will get cut off. When the entire situation is reverse.
Image looking up with your chest up to the world trade center. You wouldn't see the top because the angle would be too shallow. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468570710344728576/unknown.png Look what happens when you are closer to the vertical than the horizontal, the reverse. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468570964817608715/unknown.png Here are some questions you can ask yourself. Where is the plane of the eye? What is the relative angle between the surface of target and the plane of the eye? Give that angle , what is the angular separation of the points of light on that target? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468574743637786645/unknown.png The relative angle to the plane of the eye and the optical tilt of the target determine the angular separation
If I rotate the green block until it is vertical all the angle will grow. If I rotate it counter clockwise all the angles will shrink. If It was more to scale the angle difference would be more dramatic. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468578052302176266/IMG_3195_one_world_trade_center_nyc2015_aagdolla-1038x576.jpg https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468578348789006336/502382332.jpg Now imagine the building is 3 miles tall and not 1776ft.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468578739572441119/look-down-the-hallway.jpg So here is what happens being closer to one wall than the other. That shows the slant/tilt. Left wall angle is steeper than right wall, relative to the observer. This photo looking upward is a good example also. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468579766983720980/OrganicMechanics101.JPG

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468599107145957397/unknown.png The first light ray sim is showing that the angular separation on each side of the lens is equal.
The second 2 are to show how the points of light will merge into onehttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468601108441595906/unknown.png These are two points of light that are close. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/468601846089646090/unknown.png

Or u can just take the easy road and think ships sail over a curve.

The earth must be a cylinder tho. Cuz no curve on the other axis.

2019-12-19 23:39:01 UTC  

Or is earth just too big

2019-12-20 00:15:53 UTC  

Interesting. I’m still having trouble understand how this phenomenon could generate, say, a sunset.

2019-12-20 00:18:14 UTC  

When the sun is halfway set, the bottom of the sun is visibly below the horizon. And the sun itself is still more than large enough to see

2019-12-20 00:30:43 UTC  

We dont know what the sun is and its obviously completely different than a boat or mountain.

2019-12-20 00:31:09 UTC  

The sun is a star

2019-12-20 00:31:12 UTC  

Hot

2019-12-20 00:31:25 UTC  

The sun does change size tho

2019-12-20 00:31:34 UTC  

It doesnt look like a star

2019-12-20 00:31:36 UTC  

I mean it will and is

2019-12-20 00:31:51 UTC  

And we dont know what temperature a star is to compare

2019-12-20 00:31:52 UTC  

What a star look like?

2019-12-20 00:32:01 UTC  

Not like the sun

2019-12-20 00:32:10 UTC  

Describe please

2019-12-20 00:32:30 UTC  

All we know is they hit hot

2019-12-20 00:32:34 UTC  

Hot*

2019-12-20 00:32:42 UTC  

How do u know

2019-12-20 00:32:44 UTC  

@Citizen Z what happens when you reach the end of the ice wall? do you get teleported back to the otherside?

2019-12-20 00:33:06 UTC  

Never been there

2019-12-20 00:33:13 UTC  

If it wasn’t then we would be cold and wouldn’t need sunscreen

2019-12-20 00:33:34 UTC  

Ok but like what a star look like?

2019-12-20 00:33:35 UTC  

That means its a star because you dont get cold?

2019-12-20 00:33:42 UTC  

Im freezing right now.

2019-12-20 00:33:45 UTC  

Why?

2019-12-20 00:33:54 UTC  

The sun just about to go away

2019-12-20 00:33:54 UTC  

Well what time is it?

2019-12-20 00:34:00 UTC  

430

2019-12-20 00:34:04 UTC  

In the day

2019-12-20 00:34:10 UTC  

And that’s why it’s getting cold

2019-12-20 00:34:20 UTC  

You r funny

2019-12-20 00:34:27 UTC  

And it also depends where you are on the earth

2019-12-20 00:34:30 UTC  

Climate

2019-12-20 00:35:08 UTC  

You think something 93 million miles away would give you vastly different environments literally within 100 miles of each other

2019-12-20 00:35:17 UTC  

2019-12-20 00:35:19 UTC  

Its laughable

2019-12-20 00:35:30 UTC  

That why it’s hot hot

2019-12-20 00:36:01 UTC  

Like i said
Laughable

2019-12-20 00:36:06 UTC  

The fact that you didn’t take science throughout school is laughable
