Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen H
33.3197° N, 38.4743° W · cell 18SGL
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen H: 12.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 99°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,562 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 98° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:19 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.
