2. Why can't we see the image of an aeroplane when it moves to great heights in the sky ?

Expert Answer:
Our eyes can see properly only up to a certain distance. When a far away object is seen through the eye, the light from the object does not reach the eye efficiently.
Hence, we cannot see the aeroplane when it flies to a great height.
