   Has this ever interested you
   
   If our world was a perfectly smooth sphere like glass.. no pot marks. just smooth like ice.
   
   
   how far would you have to travel for the planet to drop 1 foot (or a yard meter which is close in length to one another)
   then from that very start point how much farther would you have to go for it to dip off another foot.. and so on. I'm guess once you hit a yard or meter it would start dipping from the perspective the of starting point exponentially.
   
   example, a 20 mile bridge has to be adjusted over water 3 feet of a drop off. which is basically a yard/meter..
   interestingly an average mass on an old sail ship is 20 feet high (about 7-8 meters height)
   
   it takes from the perspective of the person on the beach about 100 miles out for the mass to disappear off the horizon. (the person needs a telescope to view this.. yet a person who climbs a hill about 300 meters nest to the man on the beach will see the mass still above the horizon.
   
   it is difficult to measure in the past because out planet isn't flat and smooth. not even in the Dakotas or Nebraska.

   This is just basic niggernometry. Pythagoras' theorem is the square of the hypotenuse = sum of the square of the other two sides. Since you know the radius of the earth, and you know the distance, the curvature = (sqrt(radius² + distance²))-radius.
   
   Remember to keep your units the same - feet or miles or metric or whatever.
