Horizon view
Horizon from Suess D
4.6686° N, 46.5852° W · cell 17NGL
- Highest horizon point
- Suess D: 14.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 92°, 12.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,128 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.7°. At 2026-10-22 16:32:20 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.
