Horizon view
Horizon from South E
56.6950° N, 53.0033° W · cell 16VGJ
- Highest horizon point
- South E: 14.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 252°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 3°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,134 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.4° under it at azimuth 89°. At 2026-10-22 14:29:12 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.
