Horizon view
Horizon from Sommerfeld V
66.3676° N, 170.4251° W · cell 2WDF
- Highest horizon point
- Sommerfeld V: 11.9° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 233°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 336°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,041 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.9° under it at azimuth 329°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:10 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.
