Horizon view
Horizon from Franklin
38.7288° N, 47.6397° E · cell 29SEM
- Highest horizon point
- Franklin: 6.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 156°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 32°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,403 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.5° high at azimuth 190°, 44.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:40 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.
