The horizon is hardly a credible attempt to prove the earth is flat, I mean our eyes perceive things that can change the way things appear, we do not have a hawks eye we cannot see miles away our ours do not work like cats eyes either we cannot see in the dark and also cats when they see in the dark.
There is no real horizon that is just how our eyes perceive it as. Honestly I don't want to sound mean and I am trying to say this without coming across as unkind but I really cannot help but wonder sometimes how someone like me who has brain damage is able to understand the basic concept of why the world is not flat and understands how the solar system and the sun and the earth work and yet normal people who probably don't have brain damage are constantly shown facts why their concept of the earth being flat is insane and yet they still refuse to understand.
I am honestly confused about this I mean I know I might sound as mean and being rude and that honestly is not my intent but seriously what on earth?

The horizon always rises to the eye level of the observer as altitude is gained, so you never have to look down to see it. If Earth were in fact a globe, no matter how large, as you ascended the horizon would stay fixed and the observer / camera would have to tilt looking down further and further to see it.
you can't see the curve, everything flattens out, because your brain is lacking the knowledge of the circumference of the earth.
when you look at the horizon it is a type of mirage, a illusion. It always takes your brain 3 things height width circumference to have a 3D perspective of the object.
you can try this at your home place a basketball on a table outside start moving away from it, soon you will loose knowing its circumference move even farther away and it looks only like a round circle, move even more away from the basketball and it will only look like a circle, you won't even be able to see that it is round anymore just a flat circle.

You rely to much on sight, our eyes are so very limited to what they can perceive this is why we are told this 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by believing and not by seeing.
If you believe so much the earth is flat then please explain this to me, the gravitational pull of the sun is pretty strong bot since it's only a medium star it has just enough pull to not pull the moon into it and the moon has enough mass to remain un effected by the suns pull, now if the earth were indeed flat then it's mass would be so drastically lowered than if it were a sphere meaning not only would the sun pull the earth into it but the moon itself could for that matter.
Now how do you explain that?
