If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

And yes, at that distance, the haze prevents line of sight too. But we know the curve exists in many other ways.

Well, no, not from everywhere on Earth, my friend. As many people have pointed out in the comments, the atmospheric gets pretty thick at distances comparable to the distance obscured by Earth’s curvature. That's why flat earthers love to harp on that point.

And you cannot see the top of Everest from the surface more than 280 miles away either, because the Earth is a sphere.

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

You cannot see farther than about 280 miles across the surface. Ever. No matter how hard you try. The only way, and I mean ONLY way to see farther than 280 miles is to fly.

OP: “If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?”

And if you can see farther from the air, why can’t you do it on the ground??

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

If the Earth were flat, you would think the telescope on top of Muana Kea should be able to see Everest. It can't. It can't see Mount Shasta in California. It can't even see Kawaikini on Kauai. It cannot see another mountain top more than 280 miles away because the Earth is a sphere.
