Horizon view
Horizon from Erlanger
86.9883° N, 28.6166° E · cell ZBJ
- Highest horizon point
- Erlanger: 23.9° above the horizontal, 4.88 km away at azimuth 312°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.36 km away at azimuth 128°, 21.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,281 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 169° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:58 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
