Horizon view
Horizon from Jackson
22.0500° N, 163.3186° W · cell 3QBS
- Highest horizon point
- Jackson: 16.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 233°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,600 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 58.5° under it at azimuth 308°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:05 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.
