Want this question answered?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
A universal truth. (Provided the triangle is on a flat surface, and not a curved surface such as that of the earth!)
we have a horizon which means that we cannot see all of the earths surface
Technically, No. Water in a glass (or other vessel) has a curved surface known as a meniscus. A large body of water (like an ocean) actually follows the curve of the earth. So the surface of the water is a curve or section of a sphere.
It is not possible in plane Euclidean geometry, but always true on a convex curved surface such as the face of the Earth.
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
nelcomous (its a term in greek which is a term described the curved surface of the earth transferred to a flat surface.) Nelcomous
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
Sunlight is constantly touching the earth's surface. It never stops. (we hope)
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
It gets absorbed by the surface, reflected, and even radiated back as infrared rays where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
On average the earth reflects about 30% of the incident sunlight.
A map.
One surface, if one surface is flush with the curvature of the earth's surface.
because earth is curved
Because the Earth rotates.
Water.
