  1. The Earth's curvature is typically expressed in terms of drop per distance, radius of curvature, or sagitta (chord height difference). Here are a few ways it's quantified: 1. Drop Over Distance A common approximation is: Over 1 mile (1.61 km), the Earth's surface drops about 8 inches (20 cm). Over 10 miles (16.1 km), the drop is about 66.7 feet (20.3 m). Over 100 miles (161 km), the drop is about 6,667 feet (2,032 m). The formula for the drop d due to curvature over a distance x on a sphere of radius R is: d=R−R2−x2 For Earth, where R ≈ 3,959 miles (6,371 km), you can compute the drop for any distance. 2. Radius of Curvature The Earth's mean radius is 6,371 km (3,959 miles). This value is used in many geophysical and engineering calculations. 3. Sagitta (Height of Arc Over a Chord) If you draw a straight line (chord) between two points on Earth's surface, the maximum height h of Earth's curvature above the chord is given by: h=x22R where x is half the chord length. Would you like a specific calculation for a given distance?
  2. Well, there are many crazy people in the world.
  3. They will call their members of Congress. Do you know how things work in the USA?
  4. You are the ignorant person in this conversation. I'll bet you 1000 dollars the system does not melt down. Clown.
  5. Claiming the entire system is going to melt down is delusional. Go drink some bleach.
  6. I think these people are mentally ill. Their entire lives are consumed. by Trump.
  7. it wouldn't surprise me that a bitter lefty would try someone like this.
  8. It's been great to watch people like you melt down.
  9. Is there anything wrong that?
  10. Who is his hero?
  11. how did your investment in NFTs work out?
  12. That's why all the fat-ball Europeans travel to brotheland.
  13. BTW..the last war the French fought was an attempt to keep Vietnam as one of their countries. Which created the 10,000-day war. Now they want to create a 10,000-day war in Ukraine.
  14. And Ukraine has held out for 3 years.
  15. An economic depression is a severe and prolonged economic downturn that lasts for years. It's characterized by high unemployment, low economic growth, and a decline in consumer confidence. An economic recession is a significant decline in economic activity that lasts more than a few months. Recessions can be caused by a number of events, including financial crises, natural disasters, or a drop in spending.
  16. Let us see the French take on Russia.
  17. When people like you are losing the debate you always make it personal.
  18. You must be a proud idiot from Europe.
  19. Is this type of post necessary?
  20. Sorry dude. We are not spending our tax dollars defending you people anymore.
  21. Is he planning the French surrender to Russia? Is the old surrender train car still in service?
