Horizon view
Horizon from Catena Kurchatov
37.2465° N, 136.6033° E · cell 40SFF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 268°, 7.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 430 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.3° under it at azimuth 272°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:40 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.
