Horizon view
Horizon from Meshcherskiy K
9.0664° N, 127.0129° E · cell 39PDA
- Highest horizon point
- Meshcherskiy K: 19.8° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 1°, 17.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,865 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:19 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.
