Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen S
37.4719° N, 45.6831° W · cell 17SHL
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen S: 11.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 132°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,536 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 94° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:18 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.
