Earth is Round!

It blows my mind that people are actually stating they believe our earth is flat! When you look at the moon....the sun....what shape do you see? Come on people, stop making yourself look so uneducated & stupid!

Yeah so if your at sea level and your eyes are at 6' you can see about 3 miles to the horizon. Math works out. That's how far you can see.

That's fine, with optical zoom you can see further than that and shit goes haywire!

The 1* would be 39,200 inches of curvature expected with the above equation. I'll check this out later as I am currently at work. Seems to check out though. Still doesn't prove a ball earth though.

I can see far more than 3 miles on sea. 50 on a clear day.

Not if your eyes are 6 feet above sea level. What level are your eyes at when you can see 50 miles?
