The human eye can see an almost unlimited distance. Looking up into the sky on a very clear night, the Triangulum Galaxy can sometimes be seen. This is a distance of 3.14 million light years. The Andromeda Galaxy is also sometimes visible. This is a distance of 2.5 million light years. However, it must be pointed out that when we see these galaxies what we actually see is something at a somewhat lesser distance. What we see is light from the far away object rather than the object itself.
But. h / 5280 is much smaller then 2r, hence 2r + h / 5280 is approximately 2r and thus. Substituting r = 3963 miles give the neat result that if your eyes are h feet above the earth, then the distance to the horizon IN MILES is about. Thus a person 6 feet tall standing on level ground can see for about 3 miles. So, theoretically, a person 6' tall (with binoculars) should be able to see the top of the head of a six-footer who is 6 miles away. He would see the whole person at a distance of 3 miles. Chris.
