the horizon drops below eye level as soon as you get appreciably above the ground.
pic related is from the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago.

you may not be able to tell a difference of a few degrees with the naked eye in an airplane, but it's there.

flatheads love to claim that the horizon will always rise to eye level. this picture from the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago proves them wrong.

>muh perspective
are you the same flathead who thinks that the horizon is always at eye level, and that the view down a long corridor is identical for viewers at the floor as at the ceiling?

just gonna repost this here because the flathead goes on suicide watch every time it's demonstrated that the horizon drops below eye level as you go up in altitude

>would your common sense tell you I was lying or telling the truth?
appeal to common sense is Not An Argument.
common sense says that solid rocks cannot flow. common sense says that switching confers no probabilistic advantage in the Monty Hall problem. common sense says that 0.999... is not equal to 1. common sense says that light travels instantaneously.
common sense is wrong literally constantly, and yet you put your faith in it still, because at least it's not actual evidence.

>We're trying to see the sun go behind the non-existent curve
and when it went behind the curve of the earth on land, you insisted that it was actually just going behind a mountain, against the evidence of your own eyes. and when it went behind the curve of the earth at sea, you claimed a bunch of evasive bullshit to dismiss what you'd just seen.
and again, the footage you yourself posted had clouds obscuring the sun. why does it count?

>The city is not moving away taking the light with it, unlike the sun.
why does this matter at all? skyglow shows that the atmosphere is CAPABLE of scattering light, explaining why there is light visible in the sky even after the sun has receded beyond the curve of the earth.

>You're not looking properly or haven't got a good view of the horizon. It works on a plane so of course it'll work on a skyscraper.
Too bad the evidence doesn't agree with you. Pic related; it's the observation deck on the Sears Tower in Chicago, showing the horizon distinctly below the vanishing point (eye level). The trouble with airplanes is that they don't have any good horizontal markers available, so determining where eye level is in relation to the horizon can be tricky. In a skyscraper, however, it works just fine.
