On a clear day, though, a person standing at sea level can see a little less than three miles across the ocean. You can see farther if you go higherâat the highest altitude on Little Diomede (919 feet), you can see for about 37 miles. (Between mid-December and mid-June, when the water between the two islands freezes, an intrepid explorer can just walk from one to the other.)
When in a tall building, the horizon can be as far as about 40 miles. From the ISS, the distance to the horizon is over 1000 miles. So from horizon to horizon, the section of the Earth you can see at any one time is a patch about 2000 miles across, almost enough to see the entire United States at once.
