You can see stars that are light-years away.
If you want to know the distance of the horizon, this will depend on the height of the spot where you are standing and your own height.

∙ 8y agoThe eyes do not see out in a straight line, it is the light entering the eyes that appears to be coming to the eyes in a straight line. The furthest object visible to the unaided eye is the Andromeda Galaxy which is 2,538,000 light years away.

Why does light travel in straight lines give with evidence?
Yes there is. Your shadow is the simplest evidence that light travels in straight line. A solar eclipse is also evidence that light travels in straight lines, as is the fact that you cannot see around corners unless you use a mirror.
Why light passes undeviated falling straight on a refracting medium?
If by "straight on" you mean at 90 degrees to the surface of the medium, that is because light is only deviated if it makes an angle with the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of the medium. If no angle is made between the normal line and the light ray, then no refraction occurs and the light passes through in a straight line. For more information see the related link below.
If you look far enough away can you see Earth in the past?
No. If you look far enough away, you will see OTHER objects in the past. For example, if a galaxy is ten million light-years away, the light of this galaxy took 10 million years to reach us, so we see this galaxy 10 million years ago. Earth's light, from millions of years ago, doesn't come back to us, since (roughly speaking) light travels in a straight line, and moves at the speed of light (300,000 km/sec).
Why don't most stars show a parallax angle?
Because they are much too far away. If you stand in the line of a series of telephone poles that are in a reasonably straight line, you can see that when you walk a few steps from side to side the pole nearest to you moves across your field of vision quite a bit (apparent motion). The farther away the pole is, the less apparent motion you can measure. The idea is very similar to this.
Why can't you see some planets at night?

What line of sight when driving?
Line of sight when driving refers to the ability of the driver to clearly see the road ahead and potential hazards. It is important to maintain proper line of sight by adjusting mirrors, sitting at the correct height, and keeping the windshield clean to ensure a clear view. Good line of sight helps to anticipate and react to obstacles in a timely manner, contributing to safe driving.

Why it makees sense that a straight angle forms a straight line?
If you draw a straight line on a piece of paper and place a protractor over it you will see the reading is 180 degrees. In this sense a straight angle is 180 degrees.
Why can't you walk in a straight line when blindfolded?
Because you can't see...
When you ride a roller coaster what makes your body rise out of it seat at the top of a hill?
When your body is traveling in a straight line it wants to continue going in a straight line, but the coaster car is not traveling in a straight line and it pulls you down. See related link.

What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
A flat line as far as the eye can see?
My personal opinion is that you can see as far as you want to. If you just open your eyes and look at all the possibilities then you will know how far YOU want to see the world.
