Abstract
This is a review paper on isolated, distorted and time-dependent null horizons by providing up-date information on their role in black hole physics. Geometry of totally umbilical null hyper surfaces has been used to establish an interrelation between these three types of horizons in a unified manner. Distorted horizons describe the near isolated black holes which are dis- torted by the presence of faraway matter. On the other hand, time-dependent null horizons are modeled by a family of totally umbilical null hyper surfaces. A sketch of the proofs of the most important results is presented together with sufficient related references.
