Approx 97 thousand metres in 60 miles the earth curves at at nearly 8 inches per mile . 60 time 8 is 480 approx ,statue 93 metres high so to answer your question bud 48 degrees rounded down to 42 degrees approx yes bud I was wrong ,I take it back,...still don’t see it from 60 miles though

It’s not 48 degrees (or 42 degrees) though, is it mate? It’s nothing remotely close to that figure. It’s 0.86 degrees.
Also, it’s important to learn where the person is standing when they can see the Stature of Liberty from 60 miles. Standing on the deck of a 100ft ship? All that would make a big difference. |

Good morning, gentlemen. :)
This thread has taken a rather unexpected turn. Regarding your Statue of Liberty discussions, the apposite calculation is rather simple. Distance to the horizon in miles from the height of an observer is approximately equal to 1.23 times the square root of the height in feet. Therefore, standing 300 feet above the ground, one can deduce that the distance to the horizon is 1.23 (√300) or roughly 21 miles. Without accounting for terrestrial refraction which varies considerably dependent on atmospheric conditions, I would contend that Lady Liberty cannot be seen from sixty miles away when viewed from ground or sea level. Who says she can? Best wishes. |

I must conduct a little research on just how much terrestrial refraction can affect an observer’s maximum line of sight. A have a hunch that it might be quite a considerable distance.
