Horizon view
Horizon from Alder
48.6255° S, 177.8837° W · cell 1FDB
- Highest horizon point
- Alder: 10.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 43°.
- Farthest visible point
- 78.7 km away at azimuth 291°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,779 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 29.8° under it at azimuth 226°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:33 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
