As an answer to your not-a-question, I think it would imply that Arda is an absolutely massive planet, such that your sight line would be further.

Is there any evidence the Lord of the Rings world is round? The world was canonically created with magic, so it doesn't need to follow our version of physics

Yes. It started out flat but was made round in the 2nd age. LOTR occurs in the 3rd age.
