Horizon view
Horizon from Buys-Ballot Q
19.7445° N, 172.8972° E · cell 45QBP
- Highest horizon point
- Buys-Ballot Q: 6.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 128°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,201 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 39.5° under it at azimuth 285°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:39 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.
