Horizon view
Horizon from Emden U
64.0984° N, 178.2435° E · cell 45WGH
- Highest horizon point
- Emden U: 11.0° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 144°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 203°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,794 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 20.4° under it at azimuth 315°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:54 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.
