A flat surface generally refers to a horizontal surface and is referred to as the plane.
Horizontal
A wall is an example of a surface standing at 90 degrees from the horizontal.
Latitude.
dc
Perpendicular
because the datum surface is perpendicular tothe direction of gravity at any point on it.but the horizontal surface is perpendicular to vertical at one point on it :D
The glare that reflects from a horizontal surface is horizontally polarized, meaning the light waves are mostly oscillating in a horizontal plane. This polarization causes the glare to be more intense when viewed horizontally.
A level is a tool that is placed on a solid surface. There is a string hanging on the level, and if it tilts, the surface isn't an even horizontal surface. If the string doesn't tilt, the surface is even.

Horizontal
Within a context, the two may be different, yet the general descriptions are the same. A level surface is measurably level; a horizontal surface simply implies the relative situation for a surface.

Horizontal convergence leads to rising motion and lower surface pressure, as air piles up at the surface. Conversely, horizontal divergence results in sinking motion and higher surface pressure, as air spreads out and departs from the surface. These patterns are key components of atmospheric circulation and can influence weather systems and patterns.
