Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp U
47.4077° N, 48.6810° W · cell 17TEC
- Highest horizon point
- Sharp U: 15.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 307°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 4°, 11.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,718 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.6°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:46 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.
