Horizon view
Horizon from Heaviside Z
8.6231° S, 166.7227° E · cell 44LDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Heaviside Z: 15.9° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 330°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 15.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,994 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 36.3° under it at azimuth 262°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:17 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.
