Horizon view
Horizon from Gyldén
5.3737° S, 0.2323° E · cell 23MFU
- Highest horizon point
- Gyldén: 3.2° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 190°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 278°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 37 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.9° high at azimuth 85°, 49.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:06 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.
