If the earth was flat I could see China in Canada from a telescope, you absolute flaming retard.
If that's true then how come you can't see across the street sometimes when it's foggy? The atmosphere is not completely transparent even I'm the most ideal conditions, so we can't see through it indefinitely. This is so obvious I can't believe you got done typing that comment without thinking twice. Good job retard
So I can take a telescope and look alllllll the way through the atmosphere on a clear night and see the surface of the moon which is 238000 miles away. But that same telescope can't see China. Because the earth isn't flat you fucking idiot.
It is flat. Seems you are the fucking idiot if you don’t know about the law of perspective or the vanishing point.
Ever taken a plane across the world before?
Another obvious answer to another retarded statement. Objects in the sky, particularly the more directly overhead they are, have less atmosphere to be viewed through, and the density of air decreases with altitude. This is why the sun and moon are brightest when directly overhead, and lessen the closer they get to the horizon because they have far more atmosphere to penetrate. Humans already can't breath at 30,000 feet cause the air is so thin, and you are talking about the moon being 238k miles away as if that distance proves your point. The lower your altitude and the lower to the horizon you look, the more atmospheric density you have to obscure your vision. Globe earth and flat earth both claim this phenomenon to be true.
And yet you can still see the moon, at over 200 thousand miles away, even if it's at the horizon, but not China.
Hrrngggh seethe and cope noises hrnnngh
I’m gonna just downvote you anyways because I’m not actually interested in the truth and my self esteem sucks so I come online to talk down to people to feel smart
