Horizon from Polzunov J
23.6130° N, 117.4389° E · cell 38QCP
- Highest horizon point
- Polzunov J: 10.5° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 318°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 57°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,788 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.3° high at azimuth 264°, 1.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:29:16 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.
