Horizon view
Horizon from Merrill Y
76.3272° N, 117.9419° W · cell 8XFT
- Highest horizon point
- Merrill Y: 6.2° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 344°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 298°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,128 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 13.8° under it at azimuth 25°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:20 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.
