When you like to refer directly to the presented table from your own website the following link can be used in your anchor statement for the field href:

The correct table will be presented directly. It is also possible to refer to the table from your MsWord document or from your MsExcel spreadsheet when you include the above link in the hyperlink of your document. A hyperlink can be added to almost every item in a MsWord document or to a MsExcel cel.

Got to Know: The distance to the horizon can be determined using the above table. If your eye is on 2 meter height above the sea level, then the using the table, the horizon is on 5.1 km distance. If you are on a light house at 50 meter above the sea level the horizon is at a distance of 25.3 km. However, vessels can be followed behind the horizon. This distance can also be determined using the same table. Suppose the vessel has a height of 10 meter then the distance to the horizon is 11.3 km. If you are standing on a dune of 20 meter height it brings the horizon on a distance of 16 km. So you just can see the top of the vessel at a distance of 16 km + 11.3 km = 27.3 km!

Got to Know: The distance to the horizon can be determined using the above table. If your eye is on 5 feet height above the sea level, then the using the table, the horizon is on 2.7 statute miles distance. If you are on a light house at 200 feet above the sea level the horizon is at a distance of 17.3 statute miles. However, vessels can be followed behind the horizon. This distance can also be determined using the same table. Suppose the vessel has a height of 30 feet then the distance to the horizon is 6.7 statute miles. If you are standing on a dune of 60 feet height it brings the horizon on a distance of 9.5 statute miles. So you just can see the top of the vessel at a distance of 6.7 mile + 9.5 mile = 16.2 miles!

Got to Know: The distance to the horizon can be determined using the above table. If your eye is on 5 feet height above the sea level, then the using the table, the horizon is on 2.4 NM distance.

This distance can also be determined using the same table. Suppose the vessel has a height of 30 feet then the distance to the horizon is 5.8 NM. If you are standing on a dune of 60 feet height it brings the horizon on a distance of 8.2 NM. So you just can see the top of the vessel at a distance of 5.8 NM + 8.2 NM = 14NM!
