Earth bulge is a term used in telecommunications. It refers to the circular segment of earth profile which blocks off long distance communications. == Distance to horizon == Assuming a perfect sphere with no terrain irregularity, the distance to horizon from a high altitude transmitter (i.e. line of sight) can readily be calculated. Let R be the radius of Earth and h be the altitude of a telecommunication station. Line of sight distance d of this station is given by the Pythagorean theorem; : Since the altitude of the station is much less than the radius of the Earth, : The mean radius of the earth is about . (See Earth radius) Using the same units for both the altitude of the station and the radius of the earth, : If the height is given in m. and distance in km. : If the height is given in ft. and the distance in miles, : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earth bulge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
