Horizon view
Horizon from Coriolis Y
3.5730° N, 170.9586° E · cell 44NJK
- Highest horizon point
- Coriolis Z: 13.1° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 348°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 179°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,544 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 42.9° under it at azimuth 271°. At 2026-10-22 16:56:49 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.
