Horizon view
Horizon from Mendeleev
5.3754° N, 141.1676° E · cell 41NBM
- Highest horizon point
- Mendeleev: 1.1° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 188°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,183 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 10.2° under it at azimuth 270°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:25 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.
