An object will fall 4.9 meters in the first second [d=0.5*g*t^2]. Orbital velocity is 7,700 m/s (both at sea level) [V=(g*m/R)^0.5]. By definition, at orbital velocity the earth falls away at the same rate as you travel. So, 7.7 kilometers from where you are standing the earth has 'dropped away' 4.9 meters. Re-calculating for 1 kilometer: d=0.5*9.8*(1/7.7)^2 = 0.08 meters.
bananalike shape. Because the Moon is much smaller than Earth, the curve of the horizon is more obvious.
A mile have 1760 yards.
The altitude doesn't depend much on whether the night is clear.If you live in the northern hemisphere, the altitude of Polaris above the horizon will APPROXIMATELY be equal to your latitude. If you live in the southern hemisphere, Polaris will be BELOW the horizon, as many degrees as you are south of the equator.

One mile is equivalent to approximately 1.60934 kilometers.

An event horizon starts at precisely the moment a singularity does. The event horizon isn't so much a thing as a place. Like the Earth's Equator. It is the result of the singularity's gravitational pull and it will remain as long as the singularity does.
You should be able to figure this out on your own, and I can't really explain it if you lack that much spacial awareness. Stand near the bottom of a small hill or an arched bridge. You can't see past the peak because the land or bridge curves. The same thing happens when you are standing on the surface of a large a sphere such as the earth. In all directions, the earth curves away from you. This creates the horizon. Interesting side note: The higher up you are, the farther you can see. This is why lighthouses were developed to be taller and taller. The taller the lighthouse, the farther away a ship could be and still see the light.
The pressure under 1 mile of the Earth's crust is approximately 2,300 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying rock and material.
