It shows, with diagrams, how a object above us, drop down to eye level, once it approaches the horizon, or the vanishing point, due to the rules of perspective.
Because once we view a object at a small enough angel, we will not see it anymore. The higher you get, the further away the horizon will appear, as the angel we view a far distance object increases.
Distance from the North Pole to the Equator line is about 6000 miles. Considering that the Polestar stand stationary above the North Pole, and it can be viewed a bit beyond the Equator line. So stars can be viewed from a bit over 6000 miles away.
Based on the angel of Crepuscular sun rays, the sun is calculated to be about 4000 miles high. So if you assume that stars and the sun are on the same plain, that means stars also would be at about 4000 miles high.
