The earth does not look flat. 

Sure it does.  It sure as heck does not look round, now does it?

If it is flat why can't you see over about 20km?  Unless you are on an elevated platform, then you can see longer.  The earths curvature gives you a horizon line so you can only see a certain distance. 

Light can not travel infinitely through air.  Think about seeing distant mountains.  They fade away because light is being blocked by the air.  When you get higher, the air density becomes lower and so the air at elevation does not block as much light as the air at sea level.

If the earth was flat if you looked hard enough, couldn't you see the back of yourself?  Of course people or buildings would be blocking your view, but if you looked from a high enough spot, such as a top of a mountain where nothing is in your way couldn't you see the back of yourself?

What?  Why would you be able to see yourself?  Are you saying that light curves horizontally as it travels through the air?  Also, see my above response and try to understand that light is blocked by air.

P.S Lower air density means there is less air to 'block' light.

I really did not understand what you were trying to say in the body of your post.  And, I am even more confused about you repeating back what I said in a P.S.

So couldn't you see yourself?  Less light is being 'blocked' by air and light can't bend because the lack of gravity.
Question:  When did you start believing that the earth was flat and how did you find this website?

Sure it does.  It sure as heck does not look round, now does it?

Yes, it looks very round.

lololol

lololol

Do you think that is real?

  How can you see the stars?

  This is the funniest RE fail I have seen in a long time.

That really is nowhere close to  a real picture, Jimbo.

It certainly is a real picture. I can see it.  It's a picture.  It's real.  Therefore real picture.


Do keep up.

This true-color image shows North and South America as they would appear from space 35,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Earth. The image is a combination of data from two satellites. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite collected the land surface data over 16 days, while NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) produced a snapshot of the Earth’s clouds.

Ah, it's composite image.  That's maybe where you are getting confused.

I've no idea how you would judge the apparent distance of the moon from the earth, however.
