By exceeding a limit of vision, I mean something is so far away that it appears to vanish below the horizon line.
<ROFL>
Hmmmm... why is that a lot farther away on a mountaintop than it is at sea level ? And why do objects at sea level disappear from the bottom up? And no, the view doesn't change under magnification. Stuff below the horizon is still invisible. No imaginary "mists", either, or any other made up rubbish.
C'mon, crank out all the standard flerfie canards.
Does gravity stick us to the ground, or air pressure? If air pressure, then in the absence of gravity, why does it exist?
How does a Foucault pendulum work? How does the sun manage to rise in the east and set in the west in every part of your hubcap shaped world? Why are there different constellations in the southern part of the pizza, and why do they move in opposite directions? My old ham operator favorites, how does Earth-Moon-Earth ("moon bounce") communication work,, or better yet, how does "long path" HF propagation (aiming north to work a station south of you, and vice versa) happen (as it surely does). Come to think of it, how does HF propagation work at all? No ionoshpere to skip off of. (Drat you, you've just made ham radio, at least the fun parts, impossible!)
BTW, engineers don't allow for the curvature of the earth because it's irrelevant, roads folow the terrain (you have seen a road before, I assume). Ditto railways, and canals. Bridge towers are never parallel, although on fairly short spans that's extraordinarily difficult to prove (the globe is Really Big, you see). "Down" is always toward the center of the earth, and "up" is away from it, so compass directions in and of themselves are completely irrelevant to the flow of water. Yes, the surface of the oceans do conform to the curvature of the earth, the irregularly of the sea floor not withstanding because.. water.
There is no solid clear roof above the earth, visible or otherwise. And since it isn't there, there are no windows in it to allow the waters above to fall threough in the form of rain, because there aren't any waters above except in the form of clouds. And yes, the sun is 93,000,000 miles away (1 AU), and the earth orbits it.
That's how God designed and created all this stuff, as a bit of study would make obvious. If you find that unacceptable, take it up with the Great Engineer of the Universe Himself. Maybe you can give Him some helpful suggestions.
This will demonstrably occur on a large enough flat surface, it's just how perspective works.
Baloney
In the flat earth model, the dome of stars is well beyond our horizon line.
Because a flat earth model is inherently ridiculous.
yes whatever measurements will explain away why we are supposedly spiraling through outer space at 500,000+ MPH yet no noticeable change to the stars over thousands of years.
God
can't have created anything rthat big, right?
Your model is forever trying to explain why everything we experience is all a cosmic illusion.
Nope. it's all beautifully designed by God Himself. It's when you try to shrink it down to a zilionth of its actual magnitude that you end up with the kind of childish babble that typifies Flerfie cosmology. You lot have invented a Rube Goldberg universe, and tried to put the blame on God. The good news is that one has only to study God's Creation itself to see that the Flerthie notions of the universe are complete garbage.
some nice high-altitude visuals... looks pretty flat... just saying.
You see what you want to see, especially when you have a lot of emotional capital tied up in seeing it.
