It is false that as <span>you watch an airplane fly above you, the angle of elevation to the airplane gets closer to 0° as the airplane approaches the point directly overhead.
As a matter of fact, it gets closer to 90</span>°. When the plane is far away, then it is closer to 0. But since it is overhead, it is almost exactly 90°.
