What is the zenith and how does the definition of the horizon relate to it?
The zenith is the direction directly above the observer. The astronomical horizon is the plane that is perpendicular to that direction, i.e. horizontal. The "true horizon", however, is the cone from the observer to the point on the earth, below which you can not "see over", so it is a small amount lower in angle. In practice, the two horizons can be considered to be the same, because the height of the observer is often small in comparision to the diameter of the earth, unless the observer is standing on a tall point, such as a mountain.
