Horizon from Birmingham B
63.5237° N, 11.2439° W · cell 22VDT
- Highest horizon point
- Birmingham B: 19.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 46°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 118°, 16.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,348 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 15.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 128° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.7°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:50 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.
