Would we be able to see land on the other side? Would it be flat? How small would the other side look?

You don't have to just answer those questions ^ lol, Those are just to add to my statement.

There would be no horizon...as the horizon is the point where the curvature of the Earth drops below the line of sight.

You would just see as far as your eyes allowed. The distance would fade away.

Assuming no obstructions, you'd theoretically be able to see forever. As it is, because of the curvature of earth, we can only see about 3-5 miles on flat ground. It if was flat, we'd see it to the end.

the horizon would not curve as it does not when you look at it from a distance. Could you see forever? No in the end there is a limit to how far you can see (loss of light at extram distances) but it would be much further then you can see now.

The horizon would be flat. You could see as far as the crud in the air would allow.

With the human eye it would look just like it does now.
