Horizon view
Horizon from Nikolaev J
31.5885° N, 155.4266° E · cell 42RJJ
- Highest horizon point
- Nikolaev J: 22.0° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 51°, 21.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,863 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 23.9° under it at azimuth 284°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:49 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.
