Horizon view
Horizon from Main L
81.4376° N, 22.7314° E · cell ZDC
- Highest horizon point
- Main L: 23.4° above the horizontal, 6.88 km away at azimuth 209°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.20 km away at azimuth 36°, 22.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,793 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 163° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 22.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:58 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 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.
