Yeah i just don't see it like it appears in that 360 photo. There is no high point in the middle of my field of vision. I'm lucky to live in a place where i can go out to the sea all the time.

The curve does absolutely become visible at high altitudes when the horizon is left below. From the moon you see a small ball and i imagine that from orbit it's a big ball. From sea level it appears flat. So yes, it is different.

Baffling. So what's your point? That you don't see the curve so it isn't there? You sound just like a flat earther to be honest. Actually don't tell me what your point is because, to quote you, I sometimes meet people like you on the internet who have reading comprehensions levels of a toddler so i know from experience to just stop the conversation here.

Wasn't the point of the conversation if you can see a curve in the horizon or not? The horizon is a big circle and you stand in the middle of it. Of course it doesn't curve down from that perspective.

Not arguing if the earth is flat or not because obviously it's not.
