Horizon view
Horizon from Sanford W
33.4251° N, 140.6037° W · cell 5SJF
- Highest horizon point
- Sanford W: 8.2° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 170°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 189°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,236 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 57.9° under it at azimuth 4°. At 2026-10-22 18:04:55 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.
