I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but when you look at a horizon on Earth, the curvature of the Earth means that it is curved - however, that's confused a bit by other factors:
The lens in your eye has a curved surface so, like camera lenses, there's a degree of distortion inherent in the design. However, we don't see with our eyes, we see with our brain - and the brain "knows" the horizon should be straight and compensates.
If you wear spectacles then the lenses in them will also distort what you see - and the stronger the glasses, the more the distortion. I wear glasses and the horizon looks a little curved to me.

Why are all maps distorted?
Cause a map is flat, and the Earth is curved. Can't force a curved image onto a flat surface w/o losing something.
Why demand curve is horizontally curved?
Horizontal
What is a flat area on s curved surface called?
A plane horizontal surface with no depth refers to a flat area on a curved surface.
What have horizontal and vertical velocities due to gravity and follow a curved path?
Axis
Does a cone have exactly 3 pairs of parallel faces?
Because the horizontal surface is curved it is not called a face.
What are lines mathematically?

What causes a ball to follow a curved path when you throw it?
When you throwa balland give it aforwardmotion, Gravity pulls the ball towards thecenter of earth. The ball has two motions ... horizontal (forward) and a downwardmotion. The horizontal speed is constant, or at least nearly constant, but thedownward speed is constantly growing because of the downward gravitational forceon the ball. A constant horizontal speed together with vertical acceleration is a surerecipe for a curved path.
Is any horizontal line perpendicular to any vertical line?
Yes, but only if they are exactly vertical and exactly horizontal (90 degrees angular difference). For real-world examples, many vertical lines can be perpendicular to a single "horizontal" curved line at the points of intersection.
What is the name of the curved path of a projectile that accelerates only in the vertical direction while moving at a constant horizontal velocity?
rainbow trajectory
How is a laryngopharyngectomy performed?
the surgeon starts with a curved horizontal neck skin incision. The laryngectomy incision is usually made from the breastbone to the lower most of the laryngeal cartilages.
