Horizon view
Horizon from Ostwald
10.2351° N, 121.9478° E · cell 38PHT
- Highest horizon point
- Ostwald: 8.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 205°.
- Farthest visible point
- 61.6 km away at azimuth 130°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,770 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.7° high at azimuth 267°, 5.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:16 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.
