Horizon view
Horizon from Soddy E
0.7260° N, 123.4596° E · cell 38NKF
- Highest horizon point
- Soddy E: 17.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 153°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 101°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,170 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.5°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:22 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.
