Jinsi ya kukokotoa Earth Curvature

Earth Curvature ni nini?

An Earth curvature calculator determines how far below the horizon the surface curves at a given distance. Earth's curvature is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) per mile squared: at 1 mile away, the ground is 8 inches below line of sight; at 10 miles, it is 66.7 feet below. This affects long-range visibility, laser leveling, and tower line-of-sight calculations.

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Input viewing height above surface
  2. 2Calculate visible horizon distance
  3. 3Account for Earth's radius

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
35,000 feet altitude (plane)
Matokeo
~235 miles visible horizon
Approximate range

Makosa ya Kawaida ya Kuepuka

  • Not double-checking results
  • Ignoring edge cases
