No its not higher. I never said that.
So it disappears but doesn't get smaller. How? Train tracks shrink but the sun doesn't it just disappears
Again. On a clear day the sun doesn't get smaller
You never said higher, but this is what you believe subconsciously in order to think the horizon is the due to the curve of the earth.
You need to consciously understand how ridiculous this is, so if you dont think it'd higher - you thinks its lower than you and past the horizon it is just lower.
Is that why you think the 2d math to prove your 3d misunderstanding of actual perspective accurately explain how to see the horizon - that you need to look down at what is less than a 90° angle
and in this example they draw a 45° angle in order to view the curve of the Earth??

See the point you r looking at in the drawing, dont you have Peripheral vision - you dont just see a point - imagine that "r" line is the actual curve of the earth , how everything beyond it would be hidden beyond and that the horizon would be curved.
This is how your eye works according to perspective, not with your mind of people telling you what you see.
