Horizon view
Horizon from Perkin
47.0170° N, 175.7270° W · cell 1TFS
- Highest horizon point
- Perkin: 10.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 6°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 232°, 5.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,181 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.3° under it at azimuth 314°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:24 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.
