Horizon view
Horizon from Appleton D
37.7736° N, 160.6259° E · cell 43SFF
- Highest horizon point
- Appleton D: 8.9° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 183°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 217°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 514 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 24.8° under it at azimuth 289°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:48 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.
