Horizon view
Horizon from Cusanus C
70.4923° N, 61.3145° E · cell 31WDF
- Highest horizon point
- Cusanus C: 8.5° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 58°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,837 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 16.6° high at azimuth 204°, 10.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:22 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.
