It depends. If you are referring to driving visible distance than your distance is at a maximum 2 miles on a flat distance. You can see protruding objects such as mountains, buildings, etc. from at the maximum of 2.5 miles but that is all. If you are on the ocean however you can see items taller than 2 miles high at the range of 5 miles. On flat land looking at flat land or protruding objects your maximum is 2.5 miles to answer your question.

The distance you can see on flat land varies depending on factors such as your height, the curvature of the Earth, and atmospheric conditions. However, under ideal conditions, a person of average height can see up to 2.9 miles before the curvature of the Earth obstructs their view.
