Question:
How far away (miles) does the horizon appear to the human eye?
Answers:
That depends on a lot of variables such as elevation, visibility, etc. At sea with calm weather and at sea level the horizon is 7/8 miles away. The higher you are above sea level the greater the distance to the horizon. On the
Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet the bridge was 200 feet off the water and the Horizon was 15 miles away.
