Because of earths curvature, a person can see a limited distance to the horizon, and the higher the location of the person, the farthest the person can see, so the distance D in miles to the horizon can be estimated by D (h) =1.22^h, where h is the height of the person above the ground in feet, so how high does a person have to be to see 16 miles?
