Your stupidity actually impresses me in some strange way. I wonder what kind of plane is formed by three points in your imagination that isn't flat.
You: There's no way to measure the distance to the Sun without knowing its size.
Me: You can do it with trigonometry.
You: You didn't show me the math because it's impossible.
Me: Here's the math.
You: You didn't actually perform the experiment because it's impossible.
Goalpost, meet your mover. He's the guy I'm conversing with.
According to the bullshit earth curvature you assuredly believe in, there would be over 652,000 feet or 123 miles of curvature between you and the other observer 1,000 miles away. So tell me again how this would be accurate and while you’re at it go ahead and measure the “angle” of any object in the sky with any accuracy. Oh wait, you can’t, won’t, never have, and never will.

Why are you assuming that the 1,000 miles is measured at the surface and not by a straight line between the two points? Even a high school flunky would know that calculating the legs of a triangle requires, well, a triangle.
Yeah. 1,000 miles on the SURFACE of the earth should result in 123 miles of curvature on that surface.
