Horizon view
Horizon from Joule
27.1509° N, 144.1359° W · cell 5RET
- Highest horizon point
- Joule: 10.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 285°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.0 km away at azimuth 181°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,044 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 63.8° under it at azimuth 349°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:40 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.
