there is also atmospheric perspective, the further distance there is more gases getting in the way, and there is more air dense air closer to the surface. Also the hotter the day the more evaporation making visibility poorer as well. So as your friend gets smaller the air gets more cloudier.
So if I go into a plane, how am I able to see the ground? If the particles become too dense to see a boat, how would i still see houses and shit?
And a higher powered telescope still would not let me see the boat, so how do you explain that?
well like i said there is more air closer to the surface very little up there..so it is much less atmosphere to look thru looking down than looking across the surface...the earth is much bigger than your friends boat...lol...so of course you can see the ground
I love how you have actual answers to the questions, but the questioner simply refuses to consider them.
It's a literal example of the saying we "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink".
So is it just a matter of how close to the surface the particles are? Or does temperature and stuff play a role?
If it's just closeness to the surface, an easy experiment (for established scientists) would be to bore a 5" wide well into the ground. If the particles are simply clinging to the surface, the small amount of air will lead to a denser concentration of particles right? Then we could easily measure the impact of particles with vision. My guess is that youd still be able to see just as far down with a 5" well as with a 12" well.

Lies. You would be able to see it come back into view if it had just disappeared.
