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.
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
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.
Where do you see circles?
circles can be seen anywhere like bangles,moon and so on
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.
