Horizon view
Horizon from Franklin K
39.0492° N, 51.4785° E · cell 29SJN
- Highest horizon point
- Franklin K: 4.3° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 320°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 49°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,824 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.8° high at azimuth 200°, 43.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:14 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.
