Horizon view
Horizon from Appleton
37.0465° N, 158.1689° E · cell 43SDE
- Highest horizon point
- Appleton: 8.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 195°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 17°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 314 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.2° under it at azimuth 286°. At 2026-10-22 11:04:58 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.
