Horizon view
Horizon from Sanford
32.3769° N, 139.2057° W · cell 6SBK
- Highest horizon point
- Sanford: 8.0° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 150°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 158°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,390 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 59.0° under it at azimuth 0°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:30 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.
