Horizon view
Horizon from Schmidt
0.9564° N, 18.7806° E · cell 25NJB
- Highest horizon point
- Schmidt: 23.4° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 332°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 82°, 20.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,958 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.1° high at azimuth 97°, 50.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:59:50 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.
