Horizon view
Horizon from Krieger C
27.7317° N, 44.7018° W · cell 17RJU
- Highest horizon point
- Krieger C: 8.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 23°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 84°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,855 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 94°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (5.5° high, the skyline 5.7°). At 2026-10-22 16:16:33 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.
