Have you ever experienced seasons? What about the horizon? What about time zones? What about tides? What about polar night or the midnight sun? Have you noticed how the peak sun angle gets lower as you go further from the equator, resulting in colder climates? Have you noticed how the angle at which the sun sets gets shallower as you get further from the equator until at the poles it's completely horizontal and it just circles around in the sky for half a year?
Yeah, all of those things are impossible on a flat earth and easily explained and predicted on a round one. Flat earth theory is living proof of the Dunning-Kruger effect, nothing more.
And that, my friend, is completely retarded. No offense but flat earthers really should have paid more attention in middle school.
Here's an experiment: take a candle and a sheet of paper. Go into a dark room, close the door and light the candle. Move the candle around above the sheet of paper so that about half of it is brightly lit and half of it is completely dark. That should be a long, fun and puzzling evening for all flat earthers.
My friend, the earth is much much bigger than the sun, it is like asking a candle to light up a piece of paper the size of the house. Also light only travel so far before it gets obscured by darkness. Place a candle on a football field during night time, how far away do you need to go before your eyes are not able to detect the light from the candle anymore?
You can still see the candle light from every point of the football field. It also never dips below ground level which in reality it clearly does every night. And while it's dipping below the horizon at one point, it's high in the sky in another. Impossible on a flat surface. I honestly don't get how grownups don't see the myriad of glaring problems with this theory.
It's hard for you to grasp these concepts because you've been indoctrinated since birth to believe the globe model.
Every single person who is into flat earth was once a hardcore Nasa dick sucking fan boy. They are not ignorant to flat or globe models. They know much more than the typical "Hurr durr you dumb flat earther" people.

Here is a short animation on how the sun moves across our sky.

Simplistic arguments with zero links. Thanks.

how far away is the horizon ?
its not a gotcha I was just wondering and you seemed quite knowledgeable.
As far as the eye or camera lens can see????
I was asking Hiromant how far away the horizom is physically because it was on his long list of things but he never mentioned the official distance.
That depends on the height of the viewpoint. For a normal person at sea level it's around 5 km if I remember correctly.

Perceived distance varies depending on weather conditions. Height of viewer. This is the official formula. Plug in your own numbers.
