Horizon view
Horizon from Shi Shen Q
73.9948° N, 96.1836° E · cell 35XFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Shi Shen Q: 11.0° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 150°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 70°, 6.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,153 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 240° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.0°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:54 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.
