Horizon view
Horizon from Kirchhoff E
30.6077° N, 40.3359° E · cell 28RFT
- Highest horizon point
- Kirchhoff E: 9.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 232°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 9°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 144 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.9° high at azimuth 185°, 51.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:00 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.
