Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen K
35.3930° N, 42.7326° W · cell 18SCN
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen K: 7.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 285°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,364 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.4° high at azimuth 97°, 3.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:55 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.
