Horizon view
Horizon from Guyot W
13.8793° N, 115.4889° E · cell 37PKS
- Highest horizon point
- Guyot W: 16.9° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 28°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 58°, 14.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,149 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 265° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.1°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:57 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.
