PERSPECTIVE! It isn’t that hard to understand...unless you just don’t want to understand.

Please help me understand why a thunderstorm top can appear above the horizon while the cloud base is still below the horizon. Why does the mast (superstructure) of ship at sea appear first on the horizon (using a telescopic lens) when approaching? The hull appears subsequently.

What are your thoughts about gravity? Or is it just buoyancy and density?
What about NASA photos of the Earth from the perspective of the Moon?
Have you watched time lapse loops of the NOAA GOES-East satellite, showing real-time imagery of a rotating Earth from 22,236 miles up?
Does Antarctica exist as a continent or is it just a big ice wall down there?
Why do the planets Mercury and Venus show crescent phases like the Moon but Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, do not?
How can the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn appear overhead at midnight (in opposition) but Mercury and Venus cannot?
Please explain the behavior of a Foucault Pendulum, the Coriolis effect and circumpolar stars?

Same answer...PERSPECTIVE!

That you're too, quite frankly, stupid to understand it ISN'T my fault!
