Horizon view
Horizon from Shi Shen
75.7847° N, 104.1348° E · cell 36XFB
- Highest horizon point
- Shi Shen: 7.2° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 196°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,352 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 248° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.5°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:52 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.
