I have been thinking about this idea that favors a RE. How come when you climb higher, you can see further? It would make sense on a FE that the higher you climb, the less you can see because you are getting further away from the object you are looking at, which explains the hulls of ships dissappearing, etc.

edification amusement.

The horizon effect is caused by the concentration of the density of the atmolayer combined with a trick of perspective. You can only see so far because air is not strictly transparent, thus things are blocked at a distance. The higher you go, the thinner the atmolayer gets, and so the farther you can see.

A search will get you an answer, though. ???

Or post more diagrams, arrange them in an attractive 2-step design with a little path running down the middle. This is what the FEers who say 'ni' demand!

The answer is perfectly simple.
