The answer to your question is expressed in an equation. If you are 6 feet tall, then that is roughly 2 meters tall. The equation is 3.5 X The square root of 2 meters or however many meters you are above ground. At 2 meters above sea level, You would take the square root of 2 meters which is 1.41 then multiply it by 3.5 which gives you roughly 4.95. That is how many Kilometers you can see. If you want to convert it to feet, multiply it by 1000 to get how many meters which would be about 5000 meters, then multiply it by 2.6 to convert it to feet. That makes it 13000 feet. Then divide by 5280 to get miles. Therefore, at 2 meters above sea level, someone would be able to see 2.5 miles.
