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

How 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.

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.

Is a jeweller's mirror concave or convex?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! A jeweller's mirror is usually concave, which means it curves inward like a bowl. This helps magnify the reflection and make it easier to see small details while creating beautiful pieces of art. Just remember, whether concave or convex, mirrors always reflect the beauty that's within you.


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.
