This is a post about the Horizon!
The horizon (Ancient Greek ὁ ὁρίζων, /ho horídzôn/, from ὁρίζειν, “to limit”) is the apparent line that separates earth from sky.
It is the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth’s surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. When looking at a sea from a shore, the part of the sea closest to the horizon is called the offing.
