Horizon view
Horizon from Democritus N
63.7306° N, 34.4006° E · cell 27VGH
- Highest horizon point
- Democritus N: 4.5° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 275°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,795 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.8° high at azimuth 175°, 22.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:39:29 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.
