Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland
64.5699° S, 11.3425° E · cell 24DGM
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland: 10.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 34°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,103 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.3° high at azimuth 32°, 18.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:40 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.
