Horizon view
Horizon from Kirchhoff C
30.3084° N, 39.7868° E · cell 28RES
- Highest horizon point
- Kirchhoff C: 8.5° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 114°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 28°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 468 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.2° high at azimuth 185°, 50.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:28 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.
