The horizon distance on earth for a typical human height of 2 meters is 5051 meters
How to determine the horizon distance?
The given parameters are:
- Human height, h = 2 meters
- Radius of earth, R = 6378 * 1000 meters
The horizon distance (OG) is calculated using:
[tex]OG = \sqrt{2 R h}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]OG = \sqrt{2 *6378 * 1000 * 2}[/tex]
Evaluate the square root
OG = 5051
Hence, the horizon distance on earth is 5051 meters
