How Far Can You See Over The Ocean?
At sea level the curvature of the earth limits the range of vision to 2.9 miles. The formula for determining how many miles an individual can see at higher levels is the square root of his altitude times 1.225.
How far away is the farthest point you can see over the ocean?
At sea level, it would be 4.7 km away. If we include another variable, in addition to the curvature of the earth (which essentially is constant), and increase the height of the observer, we most definitely can increase our maximum line of sight.
