Horizon view
Horizon from Olcott E
20.7374° N, 119.7282° E · cell 38QEL
- Highest horizon point
- Olcott E: 6.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 83.4 km away at azimuth 170°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 962 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.1° high at azimuth 265°, 3.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:01 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.
