You can look through an ordinary garage telescope and see that Mercury is a sphere, Venus is a sphere, Mars is a sphere, Jupiter is a sphere, Saturn is a sphere, Neptune is a sphere, and Uranus is a sphere. So why would Earth be any different?

A quick Google search tells me that the Earth's curvature is about 8 inches per mile. 8 x 237 gets you 1896 inches, or about 0.3 miles.

So my explanation is basically the person who made that did no research and just made something that fit his argument.

Sorry, my math was also terrible. The site I was reading it on stated the curvature twice, once accurately then rounded, then said it was squared, which I didn't account for.

Anyway, if you use a curvature calculator you can see that about 20 peaks in the French Alps should be visible above the horizon from the summit of Mont Canigou.

Atmosphere effects could also help see round the curve

Also to >>9202997 that 8 inches per mile is an approximation, always makes me laugh when flatards post another one about some distance squared as if a parabola matches the Earth

Where's the parabola Earth parodies?

I was being ironic when calling you a brainlet earlier, but I guess you actually are one. You couldn't even get the degrees correct (360 * 381 km / 40075 km = 3.42°). Here's another calculator for you to study until you aren't retarded anymore.

Go to the north pole. Look up. The stars will rotate clockwise.

Go to the south pole. Look up. The stars rotate anti-clockwise.

This can only happen if the poles are on opposite sides. If the earth is flat, then how are the poles opposite eachother?

There, no NASA shilling, no photoshop, no government education, no bullshit. Just good old common sense and logic.
