I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but when you look at a horizon on Earth, the curvature of the Earth means that it is curved - however, that's confused a bit by other factors:
The lens in your eye has a curved surface so, like camera lenses, there's a degree of distortion inherent in the design. However, we don't see with our eyes, we see with our brain - and the brain "knows" the horizon should be straight and compensates.
If you wear spectacles then the lenses in them will also distort what you see - and the stronger the glasses, the more the distortion. I wear glasses and the horizon looks a little curved to me.
What else can I help you with?
What are the types of line in visual arts?
Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved, patterned, contour, implied, actual?
What is curved glass called?
It's just called curved glass.
Was the merger between Kmart and Sears vertical or horizontal?
Horizontal.
What is a blind with horizontal slats?
Venetian is a blind with horizontal slats.
Why are all maps distorted?
Cause a map is flat, and the Earth is curved. Can't force a curved image onto a flat surface w/o losing something.
Why demand curve is horizontally curved?
Horizontal
Why is projectile motion curved?
Projectile motion is curved because it involves both horizontal and vertical components of motion. The curved path is a result of the object experiencing a constant acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction, while moving at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction. This combination of horizontal and vertical motions creates the characteristic parabolic trajectory of a projectile.
What is a flat area on s curved surface called?
A plane horizontal surface with no depth refers to a flat area on a curved surface.
What have horizontal and vertical velocities due to gravity and follow a curved path?
Horizontal velocity remains constant due to no horizontal force acting on the object, while vertical velocity changes as gravity accelerates the object downwards. The combination of horizontal and vertical velocities creates a curved path known as a projectile motion.
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
A thrown object follows a curved path due to the combination of its initial velocity and the force of gravity acting on it. The horizontal velocity propels the object forward, while the vertical force of gravity causes it to accelerate downward, resulting in a curved trajectory. This combination of horizontal and vertical motion gives rise to a curved path.
What force or component of a force acts as the centripetal force when a curved road is banked?
The horizontal component of the normal force acts as the centripetal force when a curved road is banked.
What are lines mathematically?
Diagonal, horizontal, vertical, curved, and implied zig-zag, swirly. dot- dot
Does a cone have exactly 3 pairs of parallel faces?
Because the horizontal surface is curved it is not called a face.
What is the name of the curved path of a projectile that accelerates only in the vertical direction while moving at a constant horizontal velocity?
The curved path is called a parabolic trajectory. This occurs due to the combination of the projectile's initial horizontal velocity and the acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction.
Is earth axis tilted curved vertical vertical or horizontal?
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
Types of line?
There are different types of lines: curved lines, dotted lines, wavy lines and straight lines.
What causes a ball to follow a curved path when you throw it?
When you throwa balland give it aforwardmotion, Gravity pulls the ball towards thecenter of earth. The ball has two motions ... horizontal (forward) and a downwardmotion. The horizontal speed is constant, or at least nearly constant, but thedownward speed is constantly growing because of the downward gravitational forceon the ball. A constant horizontal speed together with vertical acceleration is a surerecipe for a curved path.
