Horizon view
Horizon from Democritus
62.3076° N, 34.9905° E · cell 27VGF
- Highest horizon point
- Democritus: 11.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 148°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 51°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,306 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.3° high at azimuth 177°, 15.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:39 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.
