In the northern hemisphere it is above the horizon or we wouldn't see it.


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!


Why can't we see our galaxy?

because we are in it!!! We can -- just not from an outside view like how we perceive other galaxies. If you look up at the night sky on a clear night with little light pollution, you can see a cloudy region stretching from horizon to horizon across the plane of the ecliptic. That region is the Milky Way, seen from the inside.


What is the opposite of horizon?

In astronomy zenith (the point in the sky exactly above you) is the point most distant from the horizon. As a horizon defines how far down the sky you can look, zenith defines how high up you can look.


What is the difference between horizontal and vertical?

Vertical is up and down and horizontal is side to side. Think of the horizon, it is a line and horizontal has the same root. In fact, one definition of horizontal is parallel to or in the plane of the horizon.

Is it true that earth is seen upwards from moon?

Generally, yes, just as we see the moon when it is "up". Earth can be just over the horizon of the moon, or straight up, depending where you are on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so from the far side, Earth can never be seen.

What does horizontal mean?

Horizontal means going left and right. This is the opposite of vertical, which means going up and down. Example: This sentence is written horizontally. It might help to know that the horizon is the farthest limit of the earth that can be seen from a given point. When you are at a beach looking out over the ocean or another body of water where you cannot see land in the distance, the line where the sky meets the water is called the horizon.
