Horizon view
Horizon from Archytas W
61.2865° N, 5.1972° E · cell 24VDE
- Highest horizon point
- Archytas W: 17.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 339°, 17.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,116 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.5° high at azimuth 144°, 10.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:17 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.
