A better answer is to use the ocean that refers to sea level as a constant. Land cannot be considered. A telescope or binoculars would also be required. We are talking about the level of the earth dropping. Several buoys 6ft. in height set in the water at say 1/2 mile intervals, depending on the accuracy needed. A telescopic camera would be ideal This would be the best way to determine number of feet the earth drops from it's own curvature. Mr. Bill

∙ 13y agoHow far you can see depends on the height of your eye and the height of the object you are viewing. If your eye is 6 feet above the ground level you can see the ground up to about 3 nautical miles away provided no hills, trees or buildings block your view.

How far can you see at sea level Assuming 1.8m tall?
The furthest point an individual can see when looking out to sea is called the horizon. For a 1.8m tall individual, that works out to be approximately 4.8km.
What is the result of the angle of tilt that the Earth has on its axis day and night summer and winter continetial drift or different stars visible in northern and southern hemispher?
Has to be summer and winter after process of elimination. It could have been day and night depending on where because in the far north you'll see 6 months of day or six month of night depending on the tilt. It could have been different stars but again that's only subject to one location and continental drift is cause by the heat on the earth core. Therefore the answer has to be b summer and winter because that relates the the earth as a whole.
Why is it daytime in America and nighttime in China on the opposite side of the world?
Simply speaking the reason for Earth having daytime on one side and nighttime on the opposite side is this: The Sun always sends it light rays to Earth (and other places), all day, every day. So it's easy to see that the side of the Earth that is pointing toward the Sun is going to be lighted up, and we call this, "Daylight". But at the same time, what about the side of Earth that points away from the Sun? That side is not going to receive any direct light from the Sun, so that side will be dark, and we call this, "Nighttime". In between daylight and nighttime are the partially lighted times that we call "twilight". ("Dusk" is the very darkest part of twilight just before nighttime begins). So, as the Earth rotates (like a spinning ball), more and more of Earth begins to face the Sun, and on the opposite side, more and more of the Earth quits facing the Sun. This process happens all the way around Earth in a time period of one day, or 24 hours.
Fractals have what familiar property?
It is a property called self-similarity. When you zoom in to a particular part of the fractal you see the same pattern as was visible before the zoom.
True or false the earths moon gives off its own light?
False. The earth's moon has no light source. We see it because it is illuminated by the sun, just like your hand in front of your face when you look at your nails.
How far can the eye see?
32 miles or until the earth curves an your looking into space
Why earth is flat when you see?
The earth is visual flat to see because it is so enormous to perceive the curves. But the earth isn't completely flat, we can notice mountains and such.
Do you see moons or rings?
You see the moon. Rings are too far away from Earth to see.
How far do you have to be to see whole side of earth?
you have to be near the moon
What couldn't you see if you lived on the far side of the moon?
The earth !
Why can't you see Jupiter's rings from earth?
because you are to far.
Why can't the people of India see the back side of the moon?
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth; once every 27 days. Because of that, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Before the Soviet Luna space probes which took photos of the far side of the Moon, no one had ever known what it looked like. People of India cannot see the far side of the Moon? The People of EARTH cannot see the far side of the Moon.
Why can you see the craters of the moon so clearly on earth?
Because the earth is not very far from the moon
How far could you see if you were on the moon?
Like on Earth you can see millions of light years into space.
Will you ever see the far side of the moon from earth?
Certainly not in our lifetime.
What do you mean by engineering curves?

Can you see the equipment left on the moon from earth?
No,its way to far away.
