Here’s a factoid that will blow your mind: the Burj Khalifa—the tallest building in the world—is so tall that you can watch the sunset from the base of the building, get into an elevator right to the top, and watch the sunset all over again.
In fact, if you are a muslim and live on top of the Burj Khalifa, you will have to fast longer for Ramadan because there’s a difference of about three minutes between sunset on the ground and sunset on the top.
You can experience this from every tall structure, however, provided that you have a fast-enough way to reach the top of it. You can even do it on a calm day at the beach with no help at all: first lie down looking at the horizon and then jump fast as soon as the sun completely disappears. You will be able to see the end of the sunset once again.
The taller the structure and the fastest you can get to the top, the longer you will be able to enjoy the second sunset. This happens because the Earth is curved and, by sticking out perpendicular to its curvature, you will be able to see more of what lies behind the horizon.

Nowhere near the largest building in the world (not even in the top 50 by usable floor space, and miles away from a high rank when measured by volume).
You mean tallest.
I think we got what he meant. Rather pedantic eh?
Not a pedant, but someone who knows what they’re talking about.
Go cry elsewhere.
I can assure you I’m not crying dear. Plus you can see people agreed with what I said.
Oh snap.
Largest – tallest , two completely different meaning, and nobody is seeing two sunsets a day you simply get to watch the same one for longer, does anyone really think of things like this ? It is ridiculously over-simplified for a tech blog.
Seriously? Being pedantic doesn’t make you clever, it makes you sound like a dick.
