Another way of looking at it is to ask what is the "curvature" of the -earth's surface Over a considerable length, how much does the surface +earth's surface. Over a considerable length, how much does the surface deviate (on the average) from perfect flatness. The flat-earth theory would make it seem that the surface doesn't deviate from flatness at all, that its curvature is 0 to the mile.
