Horizon view
Horizon from Kiva
8.8406° S, 15.4504° E · cell 25LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Smoky Mountains: 6.4° above the horizontal, 3.32 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.4 km away at azimuth 329°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 0 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.3° high at azimuth 75°, 59.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:47:13 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
