“Looks” like is not mathematical reality.
Again. Sun is a single light source. Makes its own light. Seen by the viewer because it makes its own light. The sun is seen as long as it’s light makes it to the observe unblocked.
No. It’s what actual physically blocks an object from view. This case the sun. Makes it own light. The only way an observer will not see the object like the sun is if it’s light is physically blocked from the viewer.
We know the sun is physically blocked from view by the earth’s curvature from the observer by:
One, the light doesn’t make it to the observe.
Two, the use of a light “amplifying” device like a telescope or binoculars doesn’t bring it back into view. This, disproving “prospective” while affirming blocked physically by earth’s curvature.
Three, night fall is literally the shadow of the earth’s curvature blocking the sun from view. Blocking the sun’s light.

That would show us the TRUE angle of the ocean, where WE 'actually' would see it, right? Math doesn't lie, but it isn't showing us the reality, of what we actually DO see, or actually do NOT see......that's for sure!
Have no idea what your babbling about.
The shortest distance between the sun and person observation the sun is a straight line. The only way the light is not seen / the sun not seen is if the sun’s light is physically blocked from the viewer.
For the flat earth delusion with the sun always above the earth, the observer will always have to angle their gaze above the horizon to view a sun always above the earth. In the flat earth delusion there is nothing to physically block the light from the observer, and the sun’s light will always reach the observer. In the flat earth delusion, there is no going “below” the horizon where the sun’s light is physically blocked from view to create the shadow of the earths curvature that is the phenomena called night.

You
while ignoring another viewpoint, perpendicular to it,
Do you understand how photos work?
This picture as an example. Yes, the depth of the picture goes all the way to space.
Now. Count the tress that goes left to right at the bottom that would be a “perpendicular” view to anything long enough to show the curvature. I estimate about ten trees with an average width of 30 feet. That means the photo at the ground is only showing about 300 feet of the ground. (Note the tree to the right. Its not 150 feet tall. In reality the picture probably only shows about 150 feet of ground width despite the photo having the depth of going to space.) How is 300 feet going to show any curvature if there is an 8 drop for ever mile.
Based on the size of the boat, the distance showed side to side is less than 1000 feet. You can tell the difference in height of about 3 inches over a1000 feet

So long before NASA they could fly past the stratosphere, the atmosphere, check even the troposphere to see the giant ball of spinning water hurling thru space?
Didn't think so.
When that happens (still hasn't) and we have some unaltered photos we can talk "absolute proof"
Your contrived diagrams are irrelevant so for the love of god quit reposting them, and the digitally altered pictures
It all becomes clear by simply imagining a ship appearing from one end of the horizon, just below it, sailing parallel to it, across to the other side. Or a ship on top of a horizon, staying on top from one side, to the other.
The horizon is a flat, straight line across Earth.

It's impossible to make this simpler for your turbo, it really is.
This is a guitar.
See the curvy bits.
Hey look - when you change the viewing angle it looks flat across! Flat all the way from one side to the other, even though it's actually curved.
Hmm - wonder what would happen if something would appear from behind that 'flat' horizon?
Oh wow - it's exactly like what happens when ships appear and disappear over the horizon!
Now, if you'd like to just show me how you think that works on a flat, unending surface and how it's what we see in the real world we can all just pack this up and go home.
Oh, and I'll just remind you of this one, just in case you think you might have some wiggle room (you don't):

The horizon is a flat, straight line across Earth.
From a perspective of the ground...

The "perpenidcular'' view shows the surface is curved, yes or no?
Does it show a curved surface as a flat line, yes or no?
Do objects appear top first and disappear bottom first as they round that curve, yes or no?
Have you managed to replicate this on a flat surface, yes or no?
We have many views of Earth's curved surface from altitude. Where is your flat equivalent?
My simple video destroys your argument, and you have no answers to my questions.
On your 'guitar surface' it IS curved, shown by a perpendicular view of it,
