Why can we see mars and Jupiter at night?
We can see them when they are above the horizon and the Sun is below the horizon. They still receive sunlight when we are having our night-time, and what we see is the part of the planet that is in sunlight. Jupiter is brighter because it is very much bigger, despite being a lot further away.
Once a year the moon appears larger?
Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon. This is every time you happen to see it near the horizon, but it is only an illusion.Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon.

When we cannot see the moon at all?
1. When it is below the horizon. 2. when it is in the Sun's glare 2 days either side of New Moon.
How many degrees above the horizon does the upper edge of a rainbow usually reach?
The altitude of the highest point of the rainbow that you see is (42 degrees) minus (the altitude of the sun above the horizon behind you). If the sun is sitting right on the horizon ... just risen or just about to set ... then the highest point of the rainbow is about 42 degrees above the horizon opposite the sun. If the sun is higher, then the rainbow is lower, by the same amount. If the sun is more than about 42 degrees above the horizon, then any rainbow you might otherwise see is entirely below the opposite horizon, and you don't see one.
What does near line of sight means?
It means just below the visual horizon. Although light waves can't see below the horizon, radio waves can, a bit.
A sentence with the word horizon in it?

How do you continue to see light from the sun even after it has dipped below the horizon?
the sun is yellow
What is minimum distance of the sun from the horizon so that it is visible to an observer standing on the earth?
Depending on the atmospheric conditions, when you see the Sun rise, it may actually be between about 1 and 4 degrees below the horizon, due to refraction in the atmosphere.Depending on the atmospheric conditions, when you see the Sun rise, it may actually be between about 1 and 4 degrees below the horizon, due to refraction in the atmosphere.Depending on the atmospheric conditions, when you see the Sun rise, it may actually be between about 1 and 4 degrees below the horizon, due to refraction in the atmosphere.Depending on the atmospheric conditions, when you see the Sun rise, it may actually be between about 1 and 4 degrees below the horizon, due to refraction in the atmosphere.

Anything about chromium?

What is angle of elevation?
the angle of elevation would be the angle between the horizon and the line of sight to whatever object you are measuring to. Lets say for instance that you see a plane, and you determine that it has an angle of elevation of 30 deg. This means that from the horizon, you would need to look up at an angle of 30 degrees to see that plane. below I linked to a diagram which illustrates it quite well. Hope this helped!
When a ship is sailing towards you why do you see it's masts before its hull?
Due to the curvature of the earth, the masts, being taller, will appear above the horizon, while the hull will still be below the horizon.
