Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp D
44.8253° N, 42.1744° W · cell 18TDE
- Highest horizon point
- Sharp D: 20.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 147°, 16.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,662 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 98° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.1°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:18 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.
