Does the horizon rise to eye level or did you look down to see it?

Does not matter. The distance to the horizon formula works in its prediction. Also why are there 24 time zones? How come by knowing the time precisely you can tell what your longitude is? Why is the Earth's shadow on the Moon always circular? All the Objects big enough to be a planet are spheres, why would Earth be any different?
In approximately 240 BCE, the Greek scholar Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth to be about 25,000 miles a figure remarkably close to the modern measurement. Do you actually believe in a flat Earth or do you just enjoy yanking people's chain?

A
video from orbit where you have to look down and you can see the curvature. When you recognize the places notice how big they look? If you come down from orbit the view gets so big you can't even see all of it. Before you can claim this is artificial intelligence, it was filmed in 2020 , before A.I. and I remember watching it then.

Take another look at this photo. That water clearly goes all the way to the horizon. You'd have to be looking down to see it since at no point did the view go underwater! The level point is clearly between the water and the clouds above. Not much of an angle but there it is.
