Etymology

The concept of range of sight has been essential for survival throughout human evolution. Early humans relied on their ability to see distant threats or potential food sources in order to survive. As societies developed, the range of sight became important in various fields such as hunting, navigation, and warfare. Today, advancements in technology have extended the range of sight beyond what was once imaginable, with tools like telescopes and satellites allowing us to see far beyond our natural vision.
