To calculate the horizon distance:
\[ D = 1.22459 \times \sqrt{h} \]
Where:
Horizon distance is the total distance a person can see to the horizon, given a certain height or eye level. In other words, it is the furthest distance a person can see at a given height due to the curvature of the Earth.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ D = 1.22459 \times \sqrt{100} \approx 12.25 \text{ miles} \]
The Horizon Distance is approximately 12.25 miles.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ D = 1.22459 \times \sqrt{50} \approx 8.66 \text{ miles} \]
The Horizon Distance is approximately 8.66 miles.
