Clouds on the horizon appear to be about 2 to 3 miles away from a viewer's perspective.
A one-point perspective gives less focus to objects further away. In this type of perspective, all parallel lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon line, causing objects in the distance to appear smaller and with less detail.
The horizon is about 230 miles away when you are at 35,000 feet above sea level.
Clouds are typically located about 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
Clouds can be found at different altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere, but on average, they are located about 6,500 to 16,500 feet above the Earth's surface.
The optical illusion of a curved horizon when looking out at sea is caused by the Earth's curvature. As you look further away, the horizon appears to curve due to the Earth's round shape, even though it may seem flat at close distances.
A one-point perspective gives less focus to objects further away. In this type of perspective, all parallel lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon line, causing objects in the distance to appear smaller and with less detail.
Receding lines converge into vanishing points. If you stared at railroad tracks leading away from you, as they approached the horizon, they'd appear to meet. They disappear/converge into the vanishing point.
Linear perspective is created by making closer objects appear larger than farther objects, proportionate to the distance between lines that recede towards a vanishing point on the horizon. Atmospheric perspective shows objects that are closer to the foreground with more detail than objects that are farther away. Realistic artworks normally use both.
At 100ft, the horizon is approx 12 miles away.
The horizon is point at which the earth curves away from our line of sight at the earth's surface.
Because the earth is a sphere. The horizon is the curvature of the earth (or other planet) as it falls away from you.
The distance in kilometers to the horizon is the square root of (13 X observers height in meters) so for a 1.8 meter person standing on the seashore the horizon is about 5 km away. For someone on a jet at 10,000 meters the horizon is 360 km away.
The expression "dwindled endings of its brim" suggests that the horizon is slowly fading away or becoming less distinct. This could indicate that visibility is decreasing or that the horizon is moving further away.
The horizon appears to move away as you approach it due to the curvature of the Earth. As you get closer to the horizon, you are able to see farther around the curve of the Earth, causing it to appear as though it is moving further away. This effect is more noticeable in flat, open landscapes.
On a clear day, you can typically see clouds in the sky up to about 100 miles away.
