Well before matter-radiation equality, radiation domination makes the integrand approximately constant:
At equality, , so and . Extrapolating the radiation-only result gives . This overestimates the horizon because matter is no longer negligible at equality and increases the expansion rate.
Retain both matter and radiation, still neglecting the insignificant early cosmological constant. The particle horizon through radiation-matter equality is
Therefore
This is a comoving distance; the proper horizon at equality is approximately kiloparsecs.
For today's horizon, extrapolating matter domination gives
This is an order-of-magnitude estimate: dark energy is significant late, and radiation matters early. Numerical integration of the complete expression with the supplied density parameters and gives
Both neglected positive-density terms increase at fixed and reduce the horizon relative to the matter-only extrapolation.
