Question

You are standing at a beach looking towards the horizon. You hear the horn of a ship. Which part of the ship will you see first?

Options

• Hull

• Deck

• Mast

• All of them

Answer 1

Mast

Explanation:

When you are standing on a beach and looking towards the horizon, you will first see the mast of a ship as it approaches. This happens because the Earth is curved. As the ship gets closer, the deck and then the hull become visible. This gradual appearance is due to the curvature of the Earth, with the distant parts of the ship being hidden below the horizon.
