horizon has 7 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
the line at which the sky and Earth appear to meet
a specific layer or stratum of soil or subsoil in a vertical cross section of land
the great circle on the celestial sphere whose plane passes through the sensible horizon and the center of the Earth
