In our modern world air pollution causes a haze that gives air a certain degree of opacity. On a good day you might see 50 to a hundred miles on a bad one 10 or 20 in some places. Without modern pollution... They say you used to be able to see the appalachians from the top of Pikes peak on a really good day...Even without modern technology you will still have some haziness to the air from fires and such.So it depends really on how far you want people to see, but on a really clear day, I'd guess they'd the able to as far as the nearest mountains in all directions. Angle of view is still a factor so tall objects will still obscure objects behind them, all though if you have a really tall mountain like the "Fist of God" on ringworld or the Hub on Discworld or Planescape it may be visible from the entire world. Good place for the home of the gods, yeah?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
