Horizon view
Horizon from Heaviside
10.4421° S, 166.7736° E · cell 44LDN
- Highest horizon point
- Heaviside: 5.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 149°.
- Farthest visible point
- 105 km away at azimuth 37°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 604 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.7° under it at azimuth 261°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:41 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.
