Horizon view
Horizon from Montes Jura
47.4935° N, 36.1110° W · cell 18TJH
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Jura: 5.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 163 km away at azimuth 81°, -3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 89 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.2° high at azimuth 101°, 11.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:21 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.
