Horizon from Montgolfier Y
50.1849° N, 161.7238° W · cell 3UDL
- Highest horizon point
- Montgolfier Y: 10.2° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 104°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 13°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 275 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 38.0° under it at azimuth 333°. At 2026-10-22 14:29:16 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.
