    Distance to horizon problem

    Thanks CarlB, for the input. I did get the same separation distance. However, the question of seeing a 2 ft wide object from 15 miles away remains unanswered, at least for now.

    Distance to horizon problem

    Any help/hint on the following would be appreciated. Can we see (with naked eyes) a 150 ft tall, 2 ft wide pole from a 40 ft tower separated by 15 miles on a relatively flat terrain? I also wonder if "distance to horizon" approach would be applicable. Please suggest. Thanks.
