Mt Kilimanjaro can never be seen (with naked eyes) from Nairobi

Graph · Apr 28, 2020

Among animal species that r known of seeing objects at a distance Eagle bird comes first and u will be surprised can do so at a distance of 4.8 km (3 miles). Who r Kunyans to see an object at a distance of 206 km? I call their desperation is stupidity of highest order!

Mleta mada argument hii uliyokuja nayo ni ya uongo.
Kusema object ikiwa mbali huwezi kuiona ni ujinga, kuiona object inategemea factors nyingi, ndiyo distance ni moja wapo, ila unasahau pia ukubwa ni factor pia ya equal importance, jua lipo mbali sana kuliko hata Mt.Kilimanjaro ila mbona tunaliona? hahaha au wewe huwezi kuliona jua?

Futa hiyo argument kwanza. Haya tuendelee, kuona Mt.Kilimanjaro from Nairobi with naked eyes inawezekana ila ni very rare, lazima kuwe na very clear skies, hewa iwe safi kabisa, na hiyo view unaweza ibahatisha mara moja moja sana, hapa naongelea condition zote zikiwa sawa labda mara moja kwa mwaka au less.

Lie is a lie even if was spread 100 years before!

if you are at an elevation of 5,000 feet then you will only be able to see the tip of a 14,000 foot mountain peaking over the horizon at 125 miles away.
Kilimanjaro is 19340.55 feet above sea level and 128 miles(206km) from Nairobi and visible.

Bitter truth is that the same Mount Kilimanjaro cannot be seen from Dar is slum,its host town but can be clearly seen from Nairobi and on the brow of Upper hill.

If people can see the moon clearly which is 384,400 Km from earth, what is a mere 216 km of Mt Kilimanjaro from Nairobi

That's the most stupid question ever! It shows how shallow is ur Physics! Make use of google before u try to compare a luminous object to non luminous object!

Geza, a boeing 747 flying at a cruising altitude of FL380 /38000 feet which is about 11km can be seen by your naked eye, when there is no cloud cover

evidence that u can see a plane at a cruising altitude? My friend don't mix approaching and cruising altitude! as far as i know at that altitude of 11 km u can't see a plane with ur naked eyez!

kimani Mibwi · Apr 28, 2020

Let Geza,the Lord of Darkness go to tower reviews in Kenya,plus their plans,both UAP,BRITAM,PINNACLE & AVIC INTERNATIONAL AFRICA HEADQUARTERS (GTC) have categorically stated of spectacular views of Mt.Kenya and mt.Kilimanjaro atop their structures.Who is Geza ,a non Kenyan to dispute this fact?

Geza how do you feel when you see this pictures? Kilimanjaro from Rongai.

Kama ingekuwa kweli, kungekuwa na picha nyingi za mlima kilimanjaro hapo Nairobi kutoka kwenye ndege.

With that argument, people could see the moon during the day.

The moon is like a massive mirror (over 3000km wide) that reflects some of the sunlight to the earth. You don't see the moon during the day because massive sunrays overshadow (figuratively) few reflected sunrays from the moon.

It is just how the inverse square law works, as you go farther away from a luminous object the less it appears and that further depends on the size of the source.

Considering Kibo (the highest tip of the mountain you claim to see from Nairobi) is only 24km wide but 200km away, with that distance, it could not reflect enough rays to overshadow massive sunrays (during the day) for you to see it in Nairobi. The same reason you don't see the moon at noon.

So you've never seen the moon during the day?

There is one distinct future that would make you never miss kilimanjaro on the horizon, its snow, so imagine cloudless sky and light shinning on the snow

The moon is always there.
