Horizon view
Horizon from Kirchhoff F
31.4740° N, 40.8000° E · cell 28RFU
- Highest horizon point
- Kirchhoff F: 8.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 61°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 483 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.9° high at azimuth 188°, 53.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:47 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.
