You are black eyed bullies, but you won’t be getting the best of me anymore.

Thanks for everything.

tootle ooh…

You best yourself, sunshine...

Ta'ta.

Looks just like a stock photo I had hanging on my wall decades ago. What does that prove? They can make any image they want. NASA photo's have been proven to have wide variances on Continent sizes. 

Is NASA faking photos from space to hide the flat earth?

NASA Fakes Going Back to the Moon?  

On April Fool’s Day, NASA officially launched their Artemis II rocket claiming to take humans back to the Moon in 2026. Going “back to the Moon,” however, would require us having actually gone there before, which myself and many other researchers have debunked beyond any shadow of a doubt in several previous videos, showing that the original NASA Moon landings were faked in a studio on Earth. So, now, over 50 years later, with half a century of technological developments, Artemis II isn’t even claiming to land on the Moon like Apollo, but merely flying by...

Not this again! The same can be said for flat Earther pictures and videos where cherry picking certain pics that appear flat, or feed one's cognitive bias, are selected.

I have other sources which make me a believer, one was a woman whom I worked with where she was a skydiver (without fish eyes) and she said that absolutely Earth has a curvature that can be plainly seen when falling back to Earth. Maybe you need to skydive for proof (?) or send up a high altitude balloon with a the capability to take pics/video. 

--------------------

"High-altitude balloon footage consistently demonstrates that the Earth is spherical, not flat. Analysis of over two dozen videos reveals curvature in every instance, contradicting claims that these images prove a flat Earth.  The curvature is often visible even when cameras use fisheye lenses, which can distort the horizon, and remains evident when the horizon crosses the center of the image. 
Scientists and educators have successfully used weather balloons to capture this evidence. For example, physics students at the University of Leicester reached an altitude of 23.6 km (77,427 feet) in 2017, capturing clear images of the Earth's stratosphere and curvature.  Historical data, such as the 1935 Explorer II flight, also showed the troposphere-stratosphere boundary and the Earth's actual curvature from high altitudes. 

Flat Earth arguments relying on these videos are debunked by scientific analysis. Critics often cherry-pick screenshots where the horizon appears flat, ignoring moments in the same video where it appears concave or convex due to atmospheric conditions or lens distortion.  PolitiFact and other fact-checkers rate claims that high-altitude footage proves a flat Earth as false, noting that the Earth's curvature is visible from roughly 23 miles up and is a well-established scientific fact."

Physics students would know not to use fish-eye lens/function when proving curvature of the Earth because they could never argue against it.

Round Earth...Round Moon...it's all round! Looks spherical to me.

Nonsense.  The Earth is not "round".

It's an oblate spheroid.

With equalizing layers of atmosphere it becomes perfectly spherical, so there!

I bow to the pilots, skydivers and astronauts who see it with the naked eye. Plane passengers, perhaps not so much.

"Key factors influencing visibility include:

• Altitude: Curvature becomes perceptible starting around 10,000–11,000 meters (33,000–36,000 ft), becoming more distinct at higher altitudes like 43,000 ft or in high-performance aircraft like the Concorde (60,000 ft). 
  
• Field of View: A wide, unobstructed view of at least 60 degrees is necessary; standard airplane windows often restrict this perspective, making the horizon appear flatter than it is. 
  
• Conditions: Visibility is best on clear days with a cloud-free horizon, where the slight depression of the horizon line (about 3.2 degrees below the astronomical horizon) can be discerned. 
  

While the curve is often described as "marginal" or "imperceptible" to casual observers, pilots and experienced flyers confirm it is observable, particularly when looking out the cockpit or from higher-altitude business jets." (LLM)

Isn't the atmosphere thicker near the equator?

[quintessentone]

Isn't the atmosphere thicker near the equator?

I have no idea. Is it perceivable from space?

[andy06shake]

Isn't the atmosphere thicker near the equator?

I think it's down to the Earth's rotation, and temperature along the equatorial zone...

Basically, the warmer air expands, takes up more space, so the atmosphere stretches higher.
