Horizon view
Horizon from Buys-Ballot Z
22.5392° N, 174.7294° E · cell 45QDT
- Highest horizon point
- Buys-Ballot Z: 7.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 7°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 532 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.0° under it at azimuth 289°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:14 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.
