Horizon view
Horizon from Heron (Hero) H
0.2404° N, 120.7012° E · cell 38NFF
- Highest horizon point
- Heron (Hero) H: 10.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 306°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 216°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 310 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.9°. At 2026-10-22 20:03:50 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.
