For those of you who believe the earth is a globe, if you stand on a tall mountain with a view of great distance, how long of a distance should you be able to see till the curvature of the earth dips below the horizon line?

My eye sight not as good anymore so I probably can't see but a few miles straight out at the horizon looking at trees the land dipping below the horizon on a very clear day... the earth is 24,901 miles around so it's not overly bowed but very slightly noticeable and straight out looking standing on a huge ball sphere can seem flat in nature but that's because A person can feel like a size of a ant standing on a huge ball sphere.

Here's a interesting thing the sun contains 99.9 percent of matter mass that's in our solar system and sheds hot plasma at a million miles and hour, temperature at the sun core reaches a staggering 27 million degrees F'' Plasma is neither gas, liquid, or solid rather another state of being.
Why is the North Pole area so cold? Also, why does Alaska experience 67 days of no sun in the winter time?
The sun rises and falls 33 degrees above and below the equator supposedly because of the tilt on the earths axis. How is this explained with a flat earth? Also how is opposite seasons explained like summer in the northern hemisphere while it's winter in the southern hemisphere? Sorry, the questions just keep coming.

I have read just recently the earth isn't truely a perfect sphere it's called a oblate spheroid which means the OP is correct in that there is some flattening at both ends of the poles do to density mass and volume of the earth.
which the earth shifts back n forth on its axis while it spins,, a wobbling of sort because of being a oblate spheroid which this creates seasons which because how special Alaska is positioned on the globe the seasons are affected more so than other places and the morning and evening as well.
The earth rotates around the Suns equator at a not so perfect circle either around the sun which affects seasons also on earth and also each pole of the earth is not as close to the sun because the earth is a oblate spheroid and both poles are some what less round so direct sun light is reduced and more so at the very top and bottom of the globe.
At our earths equator to the Suns equator is the cloesest point to point closeness. which this is why the earth equator tempatures are at its highest and at its lowest at each pole and decreases in tempature moving away from the equator to the north and south poles.

I agree we can see only so far, but the sun doesn't just fade to darkness, we actually see the sun fall below the horizon... we actually see the ball of light sink below the curvature of the earth.
I've been on airplanes several times while the sun was setting.... it falls below the curvature of the earth.
On a Flat Earth map, both Japan and England are about the same distance from LA.
Why do all 'southern hemisphere' flights - from the "south tip" of 'southern hemisphere' continents - fly via somewhere in the 'northern hemisphere'? Why can you not fly directly from the south tip of South America to the south tip of South Africa? Why can you not fly directly from anywhere in Australia to South America without going through the northern hemisphere?
According to trip advisor you can get a direct fight from Sydney to Santiago.

No it's a spheroid it only seems that way because people are very very small standing on top of the earth and our view of things isn't that big remember we are not lizards and see 360 degrees we have to turn our heads. So the size of humans in comparison to earth which is a very huge oblated spheroid and which compared to the sun the earth is very small the sun is vastly huge.
If you truly believe the earth is a globe, If you stand on a tall mountain with a view of great distance, how long of a distance do you believe you should be able to see till the curvature of the earth dips below the horizon line?
I believe most conspiracies are real to some degree. I understand 911, it brought in the police state. I understand the bible conspiracy, it allowed Satan to take the word of God out the churches without firing a shot.... if the earth is flat, what is the purpose of the conspiracy? What is being taken from me because I believe the earth is round?

I don't think takes away anything pondering on creation, in my thoughts if a person wishes to believe in flat or round it's ok though one is correct and knowing the right answer leads to more doors opening up to answer other questions one might have on creation. We can remain just a ant at the bottom of a ant hill it's ok or we climb the hill and then we will see a whole new prospective of the world around us and beyond

you mentioned this afew times and I have your answer the earth is 24,901 miles if I stand on a tall mountain with A telescope that increases my view to see out that far 24,901 miles I will still only be able to see a number of miles not the whole 24,901 miles not even half that 12,450 miles if I was standing halfway between each end at the middle.. Why would that be is because the earth is a ball and doesn't protrude straight out like a flat earth it dips below the horizon line so yes only to a point of the curvature of the earth.
