Horizon view
Horizon from Sarton Z
51.3514° N, 121.0226° W · cell 8UEH
- Highest horizon point
- Sarton Z: 4.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 118°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,808 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 37.1° under it at azimuth 26°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:06 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.
