I'd imagine that would depend on how far away from you the surface of your imaginary flat plane stretched and how much the thickness of atmosphere at that distance diffused light.
okay, but you can't see the actual curve itself, from left to right. so you can't see the curve. call it semantics, but you can't see the curve.

if the earth were flat, and went on infinitely in every direction, would you see a horizon line?

You are looking right at the curve. That's why you can't see the other side of it.

Yeah, I did, chief. Try this:
  1. Read what I wrote
  2. Apply it to what you asked
Presto.
