Horizon view
Horizon from Bjerknes E
38.2636° S, 115.6144° E · cell 37HJP
- Highest horizon point
- Bjerknes E: 9.0° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 46°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,357 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 12.9° high at azimuth 279°, 4.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:03 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.
