When was the sextant used?
Sextant, instrument for determining the angle between the horizon and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star, used in celestial navigation to determine latitude and longitude. ... The angular distance of the star above the horizon is then read from the graduated arc of the sextant
Distance to the earth's horizon?
The distance in kilometers to the horizon is the square root of (13 X observers height in meters) so for a 1.8 meter person standing on the seashore the horizon is about 5 km away. For someone on a jet at 10,000 meters the horizon is 360 km away.

What is the distance from point A in the ocean to the horizon?
2 miles.Answer:The distance to the horizon on the ocean is a function of the height of the observation point. In general (and with thanks to Pythagoras) it is:d=(h(D+h))0.5 whered = distance to the horizonD = diameter of the Earthh = height of the observer above sea level
