Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen G
36.5906° N, 44.0148° W · cell 17SJK
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen G: 14.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 253°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 42°, 10.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,497 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 96° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.1°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:22 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.
