One of the few things school taught me (in the good old days) was the color code for resistors: "Bad Boys R### Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly", or Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Grey White.
Toon wasn’t questioning the trig. He was questioning how you determined the elevation angle and the height of the cloud. BTW If you had’ve presented the trig he would’ve questioned the purpose of calculating the hypotenuse and he probably would’ve wondered how far you are willing to take your small angle approximation for tan.

@@slappingthebass2271You’ve really got a raging b0ner for me, Slapper. You just can’t resist reply to my comments even if you say something unrelated. Do you get off on me giving you attention?
“The trigonometry doesn’t work in reality for things up high” - do you have any evidence for this? Or are you only saying it because it would debunk flat earth? Let’s say I’m tracking a commercial jet with a telescope mount, and the plane is 50 miles away. I guarantee you that the trig works - but I’d need to point it 1500 feet lower to account for curvature.
Poohif “you can’t use the sun at sunset to measure angular size meanwhile yesterday poohif showed us him measuring the size of canigou while the sun was setting 😂😂😂 you make this shit up seriously
Meanwhile poohif says a physical object is blocking the sun “canigou” but the physical earth bulge isn’t blocking the mountain 😂😂😂 poohifs only friend is his mum poor guy has never left his computer screen
@@brianleake7762Why not measure the elevation angle to an aeroplane. You could identify it on a flight tracker, giving you its location and altitude. You could see whether the measurements conform to a right triangle. Good luck!
Science doesn’t get more exacting than driving towards clouds.
100%. 🤪
Lol
To be fair, it was completely unclear what you tried to argue.
So, the trig is what is faulty here, not your setup. Of course.
6:45 that's a nice approximation for shallow angles but I hope you don't think that this is how tangent is calculated

@andrewjohnston6631 He probably has no idea about small angle approximations for trig functions.
I'm being generous with the probably.

"Account for curvature" measured from what references?

I will make another observation to a cloud in the distance and let you determine the conclusion
