1) the local sky looks like a dome because we see only half of the celestial sphere at any moment from any location, while the ground blocks the other half from view 2) horizon- the boundary between earth and sky 3) zenith- the point directly overhead 4) meridian- an imaginary half-circle stretching from the horizon due south, through the zenith, to the horizon due north 5) we describe the location of an object in the local sky by stating its direction along the horizon (azimuth, degrees clockwise from due north) and its altitude above the horizon
