Horizon view
Horizon from Gum S
39.6654° S, 84.9212° E · cell 34HCM
- Highest horizon point
- Gum S: 9.6° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 186°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 289°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,920 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.9° high at azimuth 301°, 25.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:11 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.
