Horizon view
Horizon from Appleton Q
34.1798° N, 155.3119° E · cell 42SJM
- Highest horizon point
- Appleton Q: 17.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 283°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 20°, 14.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 845 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.8° under it at azimuth 285°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:22 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.
