Thank you for your answer. I tried to find information about perspective projection and I think that isn't that I looking for.

I need to explain the information like this:

the object seen to 9000 meters of distance has 3mm of height. Why? because the formula to calculate this results is x+y=z , where x is distance, y is height, etc, (this is a sample formulas and number are not real)
