I am willing to spend a few bucks on a game, if it is good. Stuff i don't want to deal with: Ads in game. Exploitative microtransactions. Whatever else similar horrible bullshit there now is in mobile gaming. | ||

d^2 = h^2 + 2*R*h where: d = distance to horizon R = radius of earth h = height to your eyes Now you'll take that distance, and calculate the area... You can treat the earth as flat at such small surface area calculations and induce almost no error, so: Then just take horizontal field of view over the whole circle, so for humans roughly 210 degrees / 360 degrees. A = pi*d^2*(human horizontal field of view)/360 Now that we're talking about a practically flat piece of land, you're looking more of less horizontally (a couple meters down over the distance of several km). Your eyes have a field of vision roughly 70 degrees down compared to what you're looking at, and since you're looking horizontal, technically you can't see a very small distance near you, tan(20)*h, which is negligible.... Therefore the area you can see is: 39.659 million m^2 or 39.659 square km or 426.89 million ft^2 (I used 1.7m for the height to a 6ft person eyes) The distance straight forward is 4652 meters. The distance spanning the furthest point left to right will be twice that (9304m), as you're seeing a a fraction of a sphere, and since the 4652 meters is the radius, and you can see more than 180 degrees of the circle, the furthest distance between points would be the diameter 2*r = d. | ||

check if it's based on specific foods then find their common denominator and eliminate it from your diet(the pain is from the liver imo, unless ulcers). it looks like some intolerance to me.(see FOODMAPs, especially sugars - fructans/maybe fructose) | ||

d^2 + R^2 = (R+h)^2 ---> d=Sqrt((R+h)^2-R^2) Edit: Sorry, that is the exact same equation as above. Nonetheless, i guess this might explain it a bit further where it comes from. Pythagoras, based on a right-angled triangle with the right angle at the furthest point where your gaze meets the ground. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/gUdvnT6.jpg) | ||

I think it is important to not only know the answer, but also how you can derive that answer from base principles. Otherwise, you never reach the point where you can actually answer new questions yourself. | ||

Just stating an equation doesn't help people understand what you are doing, i think from a teaching point of view what i did was still valuable, even if it was based on me not figuring out quickly enough that the two equations are the same because i just woke up.
