    Text - Here's where was standing, shown on Google Earth. On the left, there's the shore of Two Rivers again. On the right, that's the beach at Silver Creek Park. Because the shoreline is curvy, you can't see beyond either point, because it's blocked by the land. other side One side 8.4 miles Ruler 3D polygon Line Path Polygon Circle 3D path Measure the distance between two points on the ground My Viewpoint Map Length: 8.40 Miles Ground Length: 8.40 Heading: 221.26 degrees Mouse Navigation Save C

    Nature - But the line between the two points gives you a really nice, long view of the horizon. According to Google Earth, the two points are about 8.4 miles apart. How much is that compared to the circumference of the earth? And how much does it curve? Silver T'rivers Creek south side 8.4 miles
