Horizon view
Horizon from Soddy
0.4483° N, 121.7653° E · cell 38NHF
- Highest horizon point
- Soddy: 9.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 175°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 280°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 115 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 269°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (5.2° high, the skyline 5.0°). At 2026-10-22 19:04:46 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.
