Because of Earth's curvature, a person can see a limited distance to the horizon. The higher the location of a person, the farther that person can see. The distance D in miles to the horizon can be estimated by D(h) = 1.22 Squareroot h, where h is the height of the person above the ground in feet. How high does a person need to be to see 17 miles? A person needs to be about feet high.
