The true horizon surrounds the observer and it is typically assumed to be a circle, drawn on the surface of a perfectly spherical model of the Earth. Its centre is below the observer and below sea level. Its distance from the observer varies from day to day due to atmospheric refraction, which is greatly affected by weather conditions. Also, the higher the observer's eyes are from sea level, the farther away the horizon is from the observer. For instance, in standard atmospheric conditions, for an observer with eye level above sea level by 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi). When observed from very high standpoints, such as a space station, the horizon is much farther away and it encompasses a much larger area of Earth's surface. In this case, the horizon would no longer be a perfect circle, not even a plane curve such as an ellipse, especially when the observer is above the equator, as the Earth's surface can be better modelled as an ellipsoid than as a sphere.

This goes back a long way and perhaps @Jake The Mussdoes deserve and apology from myself and others as whilst he was not correct regarding directing seeing the curvature of the earth when he was looking towards the North Atlantic what he did observe was an effect that comes from the earth being spherical rather than flat. Ape as usual has jumped in with both feet and does need to broaden his horizons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
