There is no set limit. It all depends on the amount of light being emitted by the observed object. Looking out in space on a clear new-moon-night the nake eye can see stars that are LIGHT YEARS away. However, on relatively flat ground here on Earth, the nake eye can see for about 8-10 miles until the curvature of the planet makes the land "disappear" from view.
