Horizon view
Horizon from Anderson E
16.9795° N, 173.5278° E · cell 45QCL
- Highest horizon point
- Anderson E: 9.0° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 160°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,615 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 42.7° under it at azimuth 284°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:42 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.
