Not from the land as light travels straight, and there are too many obstacles within our line of sight. But it is possible to realise it from heights in a plane or on a mountain. You will see that there are no conrners, which means it is a curve as it is not a line. Absolutely yes. The best places to see the curve of the earth is on the shore or on the ocean. It is possible to see it in the arch (although ever so slight) in long spanning suspension bridges, where the vertical bridge supports are not parallel. Other places on land is flat areas like Kansas or the desert where you can get a horizon to horizon view. On cloudy days, you can see the wrap of atmosphere as the distance to the horizion increases but the humidity has to be low for this to occur.

How do you calculate the radius of curvature for the curve?
See the following link.
What is y equals 5x3 plus 5?
y = 5x3 + 5 is a cubic equation. You cannot solve for x (or y), because there are two variables and only one equation. If you graph this, however, you will see a curve that passes through all possible points that make this equality true.
How is the curved horizon proof of the Earth shape?
we have a horizon which means that we cannot see all of the earths surface
Where can I go to see the curve of the earth?
You need to get to a sufficiently high altitude or distance from the Earth to being to see the curvature. A minimum heihgt of around 60 to 70,000 ft is required to be able the see the curvature of the horizon.
Where do you see circles?
circles can be seen anywhere like bangles,moon and so on
Do people in earths umbra see in a total lunar eclipse?
No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
How long can the naked eye see?
A normal healthy eye can see almost an unlimited distance, normally vision is stopped by something in the line of sight like buildings, trees, the earths curve
What is the name of the curve You See at the of a liquid in a cylinder?
The name of the curve is the "meniscus".
What is a blind curve?
A blind curve is a dangerous curve on a roadway in which drivers cannot see approaching traffic.
What if elevation did not exist?
If elevations were non-existant, you would be able to see the curve of the earth with the naked eye from anywhere you were standing. Oh you'd also be flat, as you would be 2 dimensional.
Can you see Justin Bieber in his home?
It is possible to see anyone anywhere. All you have to do is look through there windows and other places. This is known as stalking and is frowned upon.
Is it possible to find tethloac in the dark?
Scientifically no it is 100 percent impossible. You cant see that piece of burnt wood anywhere.
What impact does unemployment has on production possible curve?
Unemployment itself is one of the factors as to why the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) is what it is - a frontier where production cannot occur outside of. If unemployment increased, you would see decreases of the the PPC at any given point, that is, closer to the origin.
What is the curve that you see at the liquid's surface?
The meniscus is the curve at the liquid's surface. It is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object.
How high do you have to be in order to see the curve of the Earth?
In order to see the curve of the Earth, you would need to be at an altitude of at least 35,000 feet, which is roughly the cruising altitude of commercial airplanes.
When the moon goes through the earths shadow what do you see?
you see a eclipse
What are the layers of earths that you can see?
buildings,landforms
