Horizon view
Horizon from Niepce
72.1984° N, 120.1468° W · cell 8XEN
- Highest horizon point
- Niepce: 7.8° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 184°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,163 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 18.2° under it at azimuth 20°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:58 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.
