Horizon view
Horizon from Olcott L
18.2430° N, 118.5895° E · cell 38QDH
- Highest horizon point
- Olcott L: 11.4° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 304°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 0°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,631 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 266°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (8.7° high, the skyline 8.5°). At 2026-10-22 16:42:04 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.
