Horizon from Gruithuisen F
36.2711° N, 37.9821° W · cell 18SGP
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen F: 10.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,409 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.8° high at azimuth 106°, 10.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-23 14:13:48 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.
