Horizon view
Horizon from McMath
16.6303° N, 166.0918° W · cell 2QHF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.4° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 148°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 13°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,135 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 59.2° under it at azimuth 297°. At 2026-10-22 11:04:59 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.
