At sea level, the horizon appears to be the point where the sky seems to meet the ocean. This is due to the curvature of the Earth, which creates the illusion of a flat line separating the sky and the sea.
At zero degrees altitude, you would be at ground level or sea level. This position marks the horizon line where the sky meets the Earth.
The distance you can see from 22 feet above sea level depends on the curvature of the Earth. Using the formula for the distance to the horizon, which is approximately 1.5 times the square root of your height in feet, you can see about 1.5 miles (or roughly 2.4 kilometers) to the horizon. Atmospheric conditions can also affect visibility, but generally, this is the distance you can expect.
For example: I looked at where the sea met the horizon. (the horizon is the flat part where the land or sea meets the sky) GLad i could help :) Rae
The altitude of the horizon is 0 degrees. This is because the horizon is considered to be at eye level, so it is equivalent to the observer's horizontal line of sight.
The horizon is where the ground and sky appear to meet at eye level. It is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky when viewed from a specific vantage point.
The horizon is about 230 miles away when you are at 35,000 feet above sea level.
I'm not certain that it matters just how tall you are, but at sea level I think the horizon is about 7 miles away.....
The distance to the horizon from the shore depends on the height of the observer's eyes above sea level. On average, a person standing at sea level on the shore can see approximately 3 miles to the horizon. If the observer is standing at a higher elevation, such as on a cliff or in a tall building, they can see farther.
If you had an unobstructed view, the horizon at sea level would be approximately 24 miles away.
At zero degrees altitude, you would be at ground level or sea level. This position marks the horizon line where the sky meets the Earth.
A horizon level refers to the line along which the Earth and the sky appear to meet. It is the apparent boundary between the land or sea and the sky as seen from a specific point of view.
yes Barbados is below sea level from my house i can see the horizon it getting higher each day
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
You can see the horizon from any altitude on a plane. The horizon is the line where the sky meets the earth or sea, and it appears at eye level regardless of how high up you are.
A very rough or "ball park" figure is about 20 miles. Comment: It depends on your height above the water. You could only see 20 miles if you were well above sea level. If you are standing more or less at sea level, with your eyes just a few feet above the water level, you could see only about 3 or 4 miles. For example: Eye level at 6 feet: horizon at about 3 miles. Eye level at 24 feet: horizon at about 6 miles. Eye level at 96 feet: horizon at about 12 miles. Eye level at 270 feet : horizon at about 20 miles.
the answer is horizon
Daytime starts at sunrise and ends at sunset. Sunrise and sunset occur when the top limb of the Sun is level with the horizon at sea level.
