=== Elevation === When an object is visible relative to the horizon, humans tend to perceive objects which are closer to the horizon as being farther away from them, and objects which are farther from the horizon as being closer to them.<ref>{{cite book |first1=Neil R. |last1=Carlson |first2=Harold L. |last2=Miller Jr. |first3=Donald S. |last3=Heth |first4=John W. |last4=Donahoe |first5=G.
