If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Eve...

OP: “If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?”

You cannot see farther than about 280 miles across the surface. Ever. No matter how hard you try. The only way, and I mean ONLY way to see farther than 280 miles is to fly.

Well, no, not from everywhere on Earth, my friend. As many people have pointed out in the comments, the atmospheric gets pretty thick at distances comparable to the distance obscured by Earth’s curvature. That's why flat earthers love to harp on that point.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

If the Earth were flat, you would think the telescope on top of Muana Kea should be able to see Everest. It can't. It can't see Mount Shasta in California. It can't even see Kawaikini on Kauai. It cannot see another mountain top more than 280 miles away because the Earth is a sphere.

And if you can see farther from the air, why can’t you do it on the ground??

And you cannot see the top of Everest from the surface more than 280 miles away either, because the Earth is a sphere.

Can a dental anesthesia injection cause nerve damage? After receiving an injection in my gums I felt a sharp tingle going from the gum to my lower lip, and now sometimes I get a bit of itchiness and discomfort in my lower lip. What is it?

And yes, at that distance, the haze prevents line of sight too. But we know the curve exists in many other ways.
