Horizon from Emden D
63.8711° N, 171.2524° W · cell 2VDC
- Highest horizon point
- Emden D: 9.9° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 196°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 94°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,426 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 23.8° under it at azimuth 327°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:45 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.
