I am on a long trip. I will look again, but at thirty thousand feet it looked flat as a pancake coming over. I will take a good look coming back and let you know if you like.    That eight inches squared per mile formula must be wrong because like I said it sure looks flat from way up here.

Enjoy your trip bigwave!

Depending on the perspective of the viewer; too perceiving that aha…moment the earth as a sphere, a pilot may need to fly the plane to an altitude of 60,000 to 85,000ft, in your altitude experiment the size of the earth matters and must be taken into account along with the viewers perspective (and/or knowledge).

 

Just as SnowGlobe7 letting the cat out of the bag to what Shabibillcious’s cat attests…size dose matter…when viewing an eyeful of bacon!

Fly  : )

 

This research will be here when get home. Take care!

There is a crucial difference between seeing and understanding. For almost everything you see around you, you apply additional knowledge to make sense of its real form. Distant buildings look flat. Distant mountains look flat. Distant people look flat. Your eyes don’t have enough depth perception to read their three-dimensional shapes. You bring context and interpretation and outside knowledge with you, and only then do you know exactly what you are looking at.

First and foremost I am not here to change your mind.

 

I just got back and low and behold coming back we were at 32 thousand feet and yep flat as a pancake.

 

BTW I saw a video of a SR71 at 89 thousand feet - pretty flat.

 BTW Fly According to NASA at a distance of 2200 miles there should be 3 million feet of curvature. We all should be able to see this at 100 feet.
