What is the horizon?

Introduction.

To answer this question let’s start by analyzing its etymology, the word “horizon” comes from the Ancient Greek ὁρίζων (horízōn, “definite boundary”) participle of the verb [ὁρίζω](https://en. wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BD%81%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%CE%B6%CF%89#Ancient_Greek “ὁρίζω”) (horízō, “to define, determine”) which comes from the noun ὅρος (hóros, “boundary”).

To observe the horizon a three-dimensional space is necessary, in higher physical dimensions it could also occur but with another geometry. It also requires a separation of media to observe it, in which the horizon forms the base that separates both media while the vertical would be the height, in the case of the earth the horizon separates the atmosphere from the land or sea surface.
