Horizon view
Horizon from Rayet Y
47.1691° N, 113.0597° E · cell 37TFT
- Highest horizon point
- Rayet Y: 24.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 11°, 20.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,102 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 259° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 24.0°. At 2026-10-22 20:27:16 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.
