Why does the radio-path horizon distance exceed the geometric horizon?

The radio-path horizon distance exceeds the geometric horizon because radio waves can bend or be refracted by the Earth's atmosphere, allowing them to travel further than what is possible in a straight line. This bending effect enables radio signals to reach beyond the line of sight, extending the distance they can cover compared to the straight-line geometric horizon.

Why are sailors taught to focus on a fixed point on the horizon?

In a small boat, it keeps the boat on a straight line. The fixed point on the horizon does not move. The boat does. If the boat moves toward a fixed point on the horizon, it is moving in a straight line. On any watercraft, watching the horizon also helps to prevent the visual disturbances that cause seasickness.

What are examples of horizontal lines in the real world?

Examples of horizontal lines in the real world include the horizon where the sky meets the land or sea, the straight line of a calm lake's surface, the boundary between the wall and floor in a room, and the straight line of a ruler placed flat on a table. Horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon and perpendicular to vertical lines.


What is meant by a star's altitude?

A star's altitude is the angle measured vertically from the horizon to the star's position in the sky. It indicates how high or low the star appears in the sky from a specific location on Earth. The altitude of a star changes as it progresses across the sky due to Earth's rotation.
