Horizon view
Horizon from Ricco
74.9180° N, 177.0519° E · cell 45XFA
- Highest horizon point
- Ricco: 19.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 277°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,129 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.1° under it at azimuth 315°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:51 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.
