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
