If the Earth is a sphere, why is it so hard for us? In our daily existence, we have hard pressed to find evidence that the Earth is a sphere (technically a sphere). As a result, there is an asteroid rise of people who believe that it is flat on earth recently, and the land is flat as a perfect proof of being flat. And if anyone who thinks otherwise does not just repeat what has learned in elementary school is a foolish fool. You can see the flat, so that's it!

Besides the concept that we have discussed in our last article, you can not really believe your senses, and there are good reasons when there is no land. This is just as uneven at one level that the globe we live is actually just difficult to assume.

## How Can a Ball Also Be Flat?

One of the main explanations for this is the concept of a local flat. Local space is a bit negligible, so we can not always trust our feelings and use measurements whenever possible, which is completely derived from our feelings. If you zoom in close enough, the local concept of a well-read or local simplicity to make an object look flat.

The point is to zoom above basketball. If you get the same results you can see the same picture at home. Imagine being an ant in a basketball, due to local flatness, it is flat for ant. On Earth, we are hundreds of times tinier than bask in baskets. In fact, baskets are a bone bigger, the Himalayan mountains are on earth! The earth is very big, it is very clear to us. The curve is very small, it may not be possible to find out without your help.

## How Much Curvature Should There Be?

Flat grasses often show the image of the earth from a high altitude balloon, below and tell the flat when the horizon is flat. Well, it's flat, but it's not. It is actually smaller to the world of HUMONGOUS to see the curve.

If you go too far, or you can make more pan, then you can see the curve. But the world is very unusual, it should also go to the unusual high to see the curve. This video has a great lesson about how large you can see the Earth and how large the Earth is, and the smaller the balloon or the satellite can be seen.

A satellite can be seen only about 7% of the land at once (but flat mortars satellites no longer exist, our page 5 insane Things Flat Mortars Believe). It's really hard to imagine how wonderful the earth is. It is simply unsophisticated and unrealistic to believe that the earth's curvature can be curved from the ground or below the 100,000 feet high altitude bubbles in the picture.

If you are at such a height, think about it for a minute: why you can not see too much curve at this height of perspective: 100,000 feet 19 miles. When it seems to be too high it does not consider the immense size of the earth. 19 routes are less than a marathon length, in fact it is between the half marathon and the full marathon. The New York City Marathon is run from Staten Island to the Bronx, and a world class marathoner can run that distance in less than 2 hours! It is a ridiculously small amount compared to the entire scale of the earth's immensity.

Flat earthers often ask, incredulously, "How high DO you have to go to see the curve". Well, you'll be able to tell them exactly how high you have to go to see the curve using the interactive Finding the Curvature of the Earth Calculator that the image above was taken from. This Video on Local Flatness is also an excellent tutorial on how flat the earth is going to look to anyone standing on it or looking at it from above.

Now that you have an idea of the amount of curve you should actually be seeing, if you look at the first image above, you can see that if you take a straight edge to it or overlay a graph onto it, you'll see just about the same amount of curvature you see on those high altitude balloon images! That same website even shows you how you can Overlay His Curvature Grid Onto Images to actually measure if the images line up with what we would expect in reality.

## How to Spot Flat Earther Half Truths

Indeed, if you take these images of high altitude balloon images that are put up by flat earthers who state they are flat, you'll find one of four 'half truths' for why there is no curvature:

1. The image was shot with a fish eye lens and the image was caught at JUST the exact moment between concave and convex that looks perfectly flat. If you watch the whole video, you'll see where the horizon bulges up and down.

2. The image was taken at a very low altitude

3. They zoomed in on a shot with actual curvature and are showing the local flatness

4. There actually IS curvature, but they didn't put a straight edge to it to measure it

Flat earthers seem to have a love-hate relationship with measurements. They love measurements when they think it confirms their bias, but will intentionally fail to measure when it does not confirm their bias. In the case of high altitude balloon images and satellites, they will simply look at the image, declare there is not curvature, and keep crowing, "Where's the curvature" over and over again. Well, you can see it here, in this Amateur Rocket Launch without a fish eye lens. The curvature is slight, but it's measurable, and consistent with what we should expect to see from an altitude of 121,000 feet on an enormous ball, which is not very much.

Since they do not believe in either satellites or space, they simply reject any images from these sources, despite the fact that the European Space Agency allows anyone from the public to use the Copernicus Open Source Raw Satellite Data, and that you can see the Live Feed of the Himawari Satellite anytime you like.

In essence, that is why the earth looks flat even though it's a sphere. Don't be fooled by these high altitude balloon shots and statements that you should 'trust your senses' and your senses alone to determine the shape of the earth. There are very good reasons why the earth seems flat, even though it's not. And like on our page Use this Simple Camera Accessory to Debunk the Whole Flat Earth Argument, we'll be giving you lots of ways you can even debunk flat earth claims yourself, including seeing the curvature.

I hope you enjoyed this article, and that you will continue to support these articles that are providing fact and logic-based arguments to counter this tide of antiscientific thinking, particularly in what is quickly becoming an epidemic of people who believe in a flat earth.
