Horizon view
Horizon from Birmingham H
64.4617° N, 10.6401° W · cell 22WDU
- Highest horizon point
- Birmingham: 19.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 153°, 13.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,862 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 127° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.5°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:02 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.
