The Earth's radius (r) is 6371 km or 3959 miles, based on numbers from Wikipedia, which gives a circumference (c)of c = 2 * π * r = 40 030 km
We wish to find the height (h) which is the drop in curvature over the distance (d)
Using the circumference we find that 1 kilometer has the angle 360° / 40 030 km = 0.009°. The angle (a) is then a = 0.009° * distance (d)
The derived formula h = r * (1 - cos a) is accurate for any distance (d)

@ 20 kms you should have a drop of about 100 feet
@ 20 miles you should have a drop of about 250 feet
There are plenty of examples around the Earth, over a body of water, where this doesn't add up at all
Zero curve

Explain why ships disappear bottom first over the horizon...

So everyone involved with logistics, shipping and aerospace is involved in the same coordinated conspiracy with the government to convince us we are on a "ball"? How much more retarded can you be?
