Comment: It depends on your height above the water. You could only see 20 miles if you were well above sea level. If â¦you are standing more or less at sea level, with your eyes just a few feet above the water level, you could see only about 3 or 4 miles. For example: Eye level at 6 feet: horizon at about 3 miles.
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.The word horizon derives from the Greek á½ÏÎ¯Î¶ÏÎ½ ÎºÏÎºÎ»Î¿Ï horizÅn kyklos, separating circle, from the verb á½ÏÎ¯Î¶Ï horizÅ, to divide, to separate, and that from á½ÏÎ¿Ï (oros), boundary, landmark.ith d in miles and h in feet, Examples, assuming no refraction: 1  For an observer on the ground with eye level at h = 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), the horizon is at a distance of 2.9 miles (4.7 km). 2  For an observer standing on a hill or tower 100 feet (30 m) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 12.2 miles (19.6 km).
