Horizon view
Horizon from Doppler
12.5828° S, 159.8416° W · cell 3LFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Doppler: 9.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 319°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.0 km away at azimuth 214°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,996 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 65.0° under it at azimuth 238°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:05 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.
