Original Note:
As causing confusion in Comments, important context.. ISS orbits approx 400km from Earth. The 'curve' is just the local horizon seen from that height. Just like going up a tall building, mountain, aircraft,... You need to be several 1000 km away to see the full curve/globe. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/EdLu#:~:text=When%20in%20a%20tall%20building,entire%20United%20States%20at%20once.
