Horizon view
Horizon from Petermann A
74.8481° N, 87.6285° E · cell 34XEL
- Highest horizon point
- Petermann A: 20.4° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 33°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 160°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,734 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 231° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.0°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:30 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.
