Horizon view
Horizon from Kimura
56.8157° S, 118.3822° E · cell 38EDS
- Highest horizon point
- Kimura: 16.6° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 46°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 354°, 10.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,787 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 278° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.0°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:21 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.
