Air and water are different substances. Your argument is nonsensical.
That's like saying "Of course, clear glass is opaque. Look at this piece of granite. You cleary cannot look through it".
True, but they both behave as fluids and have remarkably similar properties. For example, if they were very different pascal’s law ought not work for gas - as it is far more compressible than liquid - yet in most instances it does. This is one example of many.
It’s not an argument. It is a simple analogy to help you understand. I see you are committed not to, and i cannot (and would not if i could) force you to learn anything.
Yes, of course it is (in the same way we are figuratively using the word opaque to mean translucent). Transparent isn’t really a thing in reality. Most everything we consider transparent is in fact translucent, and a thicker layer of it will be - effectively - opaque. Why you don’t want to know this easily demonstrable fact is intriguing to me. I think it should intrigue you as well.
Well, show that air turns opaque beyond a certain distance.
Should be easy. Go ahead, impress me.
You see it all the time. It’s the blue sky during the day, the black sky at night, and the horizon itself.
It’s not only air’s opacity at play, but also relative luminosity. The most common example is the stars during the daytime. Because air is NOT transparent, the light scattered by the air closer to you is bright enough to drown out the light from the distant objects.
This happens both when you look straight up, and when you look towards the horizon; however when you look towards the horizon you are looking through a lot more air and the effect is more pronounced as a result.
Air’s opacity is a primary reason that light can’t and doesn’t travel forever. Distant light from objects can’t reach you anymore because it is absorbed/diffracted/blocked by the air in the way. The more of that air, the higher the opacity, until it is effectively opaque. Simple, right?
I guess you will never understand that throwing out claims is not the same as presenting evidence.
That's the problem with you flat earthers. You don't know the first thing about how to present an argument.
At what distance does the air turn opaque and what evidence do you have for it?
Prediction: You won't answer the question. You might state a distance but you will never provide evidence for it.
