Horizon view
Horizon from Sniadecki Q
22.9339° S, 170.2724° W · cell 2KCT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 9.0° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 307°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.3 km away at azimuth 63°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,621 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 51.9° under it at azimuth 234°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:18 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.
