Horizon view
Horizon from Heaviside D
6.6011° S, 171.7281° E · cell 44MKS
- Highest horizon point
- Heaviside D: 17.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 294°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 2°, 11.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 385 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 44.5° under it at azimuth 262°. At 2026-10-22 19:52:53 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.
