The distance you can see to the horizon is given by the formula d=√1.5h, where d is the distance in miles and h is the height in feet above horizon line.
Mt. Whitney is the highest point in the 48 states. Its elevation is 14,494 feet. The lowest elevation, at -282 feet, is located near badwater, California.
With a clear enough sky and no obstructions, could you see from the top of Mt. Whitney to badwater if the distance between is 135 miles? Explain.
