It is truly amazing just how fast a scene can change.

Clearly a flat plane, Clearly

I can use any desk globe and a tape measure to tell you any distance between any two points on earth and it will match reality, every time for every distance. Be a love and let me know which scaled flat world map I can use to achieve this same basic function. Ta muchly.

Look up those buildings, where's the bottom? It obscured by the water curved. Compare it with a view from a sightseeing boat viewing Toronto City, you will see the bottom not visible in this clip

[@siman6488]

A limited angle will do that

[@phatsmall2007]

@@siman6488 It even prove curvature, on the surface you can't see the buildings bottom, but if you raise your elevation higher then you will see the rest

[@siman6488]

@@phatsmall2007 incorrect, the distance would make the bottom unresolvable. The limited angle is to small to the bottom of the towers to resolve.

@@siman6488 Nope..You can watch here on KZbin there are several other Chicago skyline clips from 23 miles, 36 miles and 50+ miles, and the building getting even lower obscured by the water from the farthest distance. Definitely due to curvature, not about angle

It is not curvature, it is an optical illusion caused by Angular Resolution, Inverse Square Law and the Law of Reflections. My railroad videos have shown that curvature is not needed to make objects disappear. Because the tiny surface area of the bottom of the buildings are several magnitudes less reflective than tens of miles of water surface.
