Finally heard a Round Earth argument that doesn’t require math or measurements or anything but your own eyes.
The fact that, as your elevation increases, the distance you can see increases. This only makes sense on a sphere. If the earth was flat, you should be able to see 50 to 150 miles in any direction before air distortion prevents you from seeing further. But at sea level, you can only see exactly 3 miles in any direction. Period. If you go higher, you can see farther. It literally only makes sense if you’re standing on a ball. How is there any debate? How do flerfs explain this?
