Horizon view
Horizon from Champollion Y
40.6690° N, 174.6358° E · cell 45TDV
- Highest horizon point
- Champollion Y: 17.5° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 230°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 87°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 388 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.5° under it at azimuth 304°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:12 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.
