Horizon view
Horizon from Buys-Ballot
20.8573° N, 174.8224° E · cell 45QDR
- Highest horizon point
- Buys-Ballot: 9.7° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 63°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 339°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,504 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.9° under it at azimuth 287°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:29 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.
