Horizon view
Horizon from Appleton R
36.1276° N, 156.2548° E · cell 43SBD
- Highest horizon point
- Appleton R: 18.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 24°, 8.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 108 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.3° under it at azimuth 286°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:11 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.
