- Horizon - n. - The circle which bounds that part of the earth's surface visible to a spectator from a given point; the apparent junction of the earth and sky.
- Horizon - n. - A plane passing through the eye of the spectator and at right angles to the vertical at a given place; a plane tangent to the earth's surface at that place; called distinctively the sensible horizon.
- Horizon - n. - A plane parallel to the sensible horizon of a place, and passing through the earth's center; -- called also rational / celestial horizon.
- Horizon - n. - The unbroken line separating sky and water, as seen by an eye at a given elevation, no land being visible.
- Horizon - n. - The epoch or time during which a deposit was made.
- Horizon - n. - The chief horizontal line in a picture of any sort, which determines in the picture the height of the eye of the spectator; in an extended landscape, the representation of the natural horizon corresponds with this line.
- Horizontal - a. - Pertaining to, or near, the horizon.
- Horizontal - a. - Parallel to the horizon; on a level; as, a horizontalline or surface.
- Horizontal - a. - Measured or contained in a plane of the horizon; as, horizontal distance.
- Horizontality - n. - The state or quality of being horizontal.
- Horizontally - adv. - In a horizontal direction or position; on a level; as, moving horizontally.
- Amplitude - n. - The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.
- Horoscope - n. - The representation made of the aspect of the heavens at the moment of a person's birth, by which the astrologer professed to foretell the events of the person's life; especially, the sign of the zodiac rising above the horizon at such a moment.

- Northwest - n. - The point in the horizon between the north and west, and equally distant from each; the northwest part or region.
- Level - n. - A horizontal line or plane; that is, a straight line or a plane which is tangent to a true level at a given point and hence parallel to the horizon at that point; -- this is the apparent level at the given point.
- Sunrising - n. - The first appearance of the sun above the horizon in the morning; more generally, the time of such appearance, whether in fair or cloudy weather; as, to begin work at sunrise.
- Azimuth - n. - An arc of the horizon intercepted between the meridian of the place and a vertical circle passing through the center of any object; as, the azimuth of a star; the azimuth or bearing of a line surveying.
- Analemma - n. - An instrument of wood or brass, on which this projection of the sphere is made, having a movable horizon or cursor; -- formerly much used in solving some common astronomical problems.
- Steeve - v. i. - To project upward, or make an angle with the horizon or with the line of a vessel's keel; -- said of the bowsprit, etc.
- Amplitude - n. - The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object.
- Occident - n. - The part of the horizon where the sun last appears in the evening; that part of the earth towards the sunset; the west; -- opposed to orient. Specifically, in former times, Europe as opposed to Asia; now, also, the Western hemisphere.
- Low - adv. - In a path near the equator, so that the declination is small, or near the horizon, so that the altitude is small; -- said of the heavenly bodies with reference to the diurnal revolution; as, the moon runs low, that is, is comparatively near the horizon when on or near the meridian.
- Orient - n. - The part of the horizon where the sun first appears in the morning; the east.
- Horizon - n. - A plane parallel to the sensible horizon of a place, and passing through the earth's center; -- called also rational / celestial horizon.
- Blink - v. i. - The dazzling whiteness about the horizon caused by the reflection of light from fields of ice at sea; ice blink.
- Rh/tic - a. - Pertaining to, or of the same horizon as, certain Mesozoic strata of the Rhetian Alps. These strata are regarded as closing the Triassic period. See the Chart of Geology.
