Horizon view
Horizon from Smithson
2.3823° N, 53.6375° E · cell 30NCN
- Highest horizon point
- Smithson: 13.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 338°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 139°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,028 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 74.8° high at azimuth 256°, 64.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:24 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.
