+>The <firstterm
+>Horizon</firstterm
+> is the line that separates Earth from Sky. More precisely, it is the line that divides all of the directions you can possibly look into two categories: those which intersect the Earth, and those which do not. At many locations, the Horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains &etc;. However, if you are on a ship at sea, the Horizon is strikingly apparent. </para

+>The horizon is the <firstterm

+>Horizontal Coordinate System</link
+>. In other words, it is the locus of points which have an <firstterm
+>Altitude</firstterm
+> of zero degrees. </para>
