Horizon view
Horizon from Petrov
61.3618° S, 88.1752° E · cell 34EFF
- Highest horizon point
- Petrov: 6.8° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 329°.
- Farthest visible point
- 91.9 km away at azimuth 130°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,498 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.3° high at azimuth 309°, 13.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:41 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.
