Horizon view
Horizon from Apollonius N
4.7457° N, 63.7679° E · cell 31NEF
- Highest horizon point
- Apollonius N: 15.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 132°, 9.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 619 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.5° high at azimuth 257°, 51.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:13 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.
