>Yet more pussy footage not showing the sunset with a direct line of sight.
ah yes, the MUH VEGUTATION copout just like I predicted
If the sun's apparent setting is caused by it moving further away, it should shrink continuously as it descends in the sky. And yet it shows no sign of shrinking as it approaches the horizon in the footage I've posted. Are you or are you not claiming that the sun appears to remain the same size throughout its trajectory except at the last moment before it fully sets? (Note that a large part of the sun is still visible above the trees when part of the sun is already below the horizon; this would imply that the "bottom" of the sun is shrinking while the "top" remains the same size according to your model, which goes against all the laws of perspective.)
You are frantically attempting to handwave away the evidence you asked for, which is now proving you wrong.

>Wrong, the horizon always remains at eye level.

>If it didn't you would have to look down to see the horizon when looking out at the ocean
you don't seem to understand what an imperceptible difference is.
>the curve of the earth is sloping approximately 8 inches per mile, squared, so the horizon should be much lower than you
You don't understand basic geometry.
The horizon is about 3 miles away on flat terrain (or water), for an observer 5-6 feet tall. 6 feet of arc at a distance of 3 miles is about 0.02 degrees. The width of your little finger, held at arm's length, is about 1 degree; one fiftieth of a degree would be about the width of two hairs held at arm's length against the sky. Can your eyes spot such a minuscule difference in angle arc? No, nobody's eyes can, you brainlet. Two hairs' width at arm's length is literally smaller than the apparent thickness of the horizon line.
