Curvature Calculator
v2.0
Calculate observer horizon, combined horizon, dip angle, and hidden target height with transparent formulas.
27 tools
Each tool includes testable predictions, clear subject tags, and visual comparison against the flat-earth disc where relevant.
3 tools
Earth bulge, line of sight, hidden height, and horizon geometry.
v2.0
Calculate observer horizon, combined horizon, dip angle, and hidden target height with transparent formulas.
v2.0
Simulate how a fisheye lens can bend a straight horizon in wide-angle footage, especially when the horizon sits away from the image center.
16 tools
Sun paths, seasons, stars, Moon orientation, and latitude-driven sky behavior.
v2.0
Estimate daylight duration by latitude and date, then compare with observations.
v1.1
Generate sunrise, sunset, solar-noon, and celestial-pole predictions from latitude, longitude, and date.
v1.0
Compare the same date at two latitudes to show opposite seasonal daylight patterns on a globe.
v1.6.1
Compare parallel sunlight, anticrepuscular convergence, and a nearby-lamp contrast to explain fan-shaped sky rays with perspective geometry.
v1.0
Estimate lunar age, illuminated fraction, and phase name from date, with Sun-Earth-Moon geometry.
v2.0
Show how Sun-Moon angular size and Earth's umbra geometry fit one coherent eclipse model.
v1.0
Estimate magnification, field of view, exit pupil, resolution, and target framing from real telescope and eyepiece specs.
v1.1
Compare how the same Moon phase and landmark pattern rotate for different Earth observers at the same UTC moment.
v2.0
Measure how the flat-earth disc stretches east-west distances at southern latitudes.
v1.0
Test how star altitude, circumpolar visibility, and hemisphere-dependent sky access change with latitude.
v1.2
Compare a standard globe Sun path with a simplified nearby-sun flat-earth dome model and test how their daily predictions diverge at the same latitude and date.
v1.0
Render one real NOAA sunspot-region snapshot for different observers and compare how the same solar pattern rotates with latitude, longitude, and UTC time.
v1.0
Calculate surface spin speed and centrifugal acceleration at any latitude.
v1.4
Test whether a star rises, sets, or stays above the horizon from a given latitude.
5 tools
Orbits, passes, dish geometry, and live positioning signals.
v1.0
Predict satellite rise, peak, set, and visibility from current TLEs, observer coordinates, and a time window.
v1.1
Replay ISS and geostationary passes on a live globe ground track with horizon elevation and pass scrubber.
v2.0
Compute orbital period, ground speed, and horizon slant range from altitude, then see why TLE plus SGP4 pass tables repeat.
2 tools
Effective gravity, rotation effects, and geodesy comparisons.
