Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland A
67.3212° S, 13.2530° E · cell 25DDU
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland A: 8.7° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 5°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 175°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,578 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.6° high at azimuth 28°, 14.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:36 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.
