Horizon vs. Skyline

The apparent intersection of the earth and sky as seen by an observer. Also called apparent horizon.

The line along which the surface of the earth and the sky appear to meet; the horizon.

See sensible horizon.

The outline of a group of buildings or a mountain range seen against the sky.

See celestial horizon.

(earth sciences) The line at which the earth and sky meet.

The limit or edge of the observable universe.

The horizontal silhouette of a city or building against the sky.

The range of one's knowledge, experience, or interest.

A path of movement, especially military movement, producing a silhouette above terrain features visible from the location of likely observers.

A specific position in a column of rock layers, usually designated by the occurrence of one or more distinctive fossils or by a distinctive sediment bed, that is used in stratigraphy.

(journalism) A panel on the front page of a newspaper outlining some of the features to be found inside.

A layer of soil that can be distinguished from adjacent layers of soil and that is characterized by a certain color, texture, structure or chemical composition.

(database) skyline operator

(Archaeology) A period during which the influence of a specified culture spread rapidly over a defined area

To outline something against the sky.

The visible horizontal line (in all directions) where the sky appears to meet the earth in the distance.

To filter by means of the skyline operator.

(figuratively) The range or limit of one's knowledge, experience or interest; a boundary or threshold.

The outline of objects seen against the sky

The range or limit of any dimension in which one exists.

The line at which the sky and Earth appear to meet

(geology) A specific layer of soil, or stratum

A cultural sub-period or level within a more encompassing time period.

Any level line or surface.

(chess) The point at which a computer chess algorithm stops searching for further moves.

The line 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.

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.

The epoch or time during which a deposit was made.

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.

The limit of a person's range of perception, capabilities, or experience; as, children raised in the inner city have limited horizons.

A boundary point or line, or a time point, beyond which new knowledge or experiences may be found; as, more powerful computers are just over the horizon.

The line at which the sky and Earth appear to meet

The range of interest or activity that can be anticipated;

A specific layer or stratum of soil or subsoil in a vertical cross section of land

The great circle on the celestial sphere whose plane passes through the sensible horizon and the center of the Earth
