What is horizon?

A horizon is the line where the sky meets something else, like the ground or the sea, and it looks far away.

Imagine you're outside on a sunny day, playing with your toy car. You look up at the sky, and somewhere above the trees or buildings, there’s a soft line that separates the blue sky from everything below. That line is the horizon. It's like the edge of a big picture frame, but it keeps moving as you walk or run.

What makes the horizon move?

When you're standing still, the horizon looks like it's right there. But when you take a step forward, it seems to go further away. It’s like watching a friend ride their bike off into the distance, they get smaller and smaller until they disappear behind the horizon.

If you’re near the ocean, the horizon is where the water meets the sky. You can almost touch it if you run toward it, but it always stays just out of reach, like a game of chase with the world itself!
