Just curious, I often wonder how far away a cloud is, if it is far away and seems close or is close but seems far away, if that makes sense. Thanks.What is the furthest distance you can see a cloud from any point?
Well your question brings into account the fact that the earth is round. Some high clouds can be over 3 miles up off the ground.
At sea level the horizon is approx 5-6 miles away (assuming a clear day),
Clouds rise off the horizon by 3 miles up so, You can see them from real freaking far. A cloud that is 3 miles up off the ground, just breaking the horizon and coming into view, I would ESTIMATE that it is over 20 miles away.
