FLAT EARTH KNOWLEDGE: Earth Curvature Equation in Excel Spreadsheet (Pythagorean Theorem)

The following Flat Earth equation is ONLY an approximation (and a very good one at that): Miles^2 * 8 inches = Distance of drop below the Horizon


If you want to determine the precise distance of drop below the horizon that should exist if we are living on a globe shaped earth…then I hope this video blesses you!


When cell B11 is a negative number, then this is the number of feet the top of the object should be below the horizon. When cell B11 is a positive number, then this represents how much of the top portion of the object should be visible
