Horizon view
Horizon from Boss N
52.0349° N, 85.8025° E · cell 34UDD
- Highest horizon point
- Boss N: 14.3° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 350°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 29°, 12.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,670 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.2° high at azimuth 236°, 13.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:51 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.
