>>15503557it is important to realize that a spherical earth necessitates a GEOMETRIC HORIZON, not an APPARENT HORIZON. an optical horizon dependent on atmospheric conditions caused by refraction is literally exactly what we would expect to see on a flat earth, and it is exactly what we DO see. a spherical earth with a given radius of 3959 miles, on the other hand, would necessitate a limit to how far we could see regardless of atmospheric conditions and/or refraction.
the phenomenon of a moving visual horizon known as atmospheric refraction has never been shown to take an object hidden behind a curve and bring it back into view. watch this if you want to see how refraction actually works:

It’s a very well documented phenomenon. notice for example the evenly spaced balcony floors of the 2nd picture in picrel, and how they progressively get "smushed" into the horizon the closer to the bottom of the building they are. Regardless though, the major takeaway of these videos should be that the buildings shouldn’t be visible AT ALL. The entire city skyline should be completely hidden by earth’s curve.
You cannot zoom into an object to make it visible again once the object has disappeared around a corner, that's impossible. if we can see an object that is too far away, which should be hidden by the Earth’s curvature and is not, that is absolute PROOF that earth is not spheroid in shape, especially when all factors such a “””refraction””” and geographical anomalies are taken into consideration such as in this repeatable, highly controlled and highly accurate laser experiment:
