Horizon from Emden W
65.8322° N, 178.5775° E · cell 45WGK
- Highest horizon point
- Emden W: 16.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 118°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,149 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 19.2° under it at azimuth 316°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:55 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.
