Horizon view
Horizon from Thiessen Q
73.4870° N, 174.4477° W · cell 1XFK
- Highest horizon point
- Thiessen Q: 7.6° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 182°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,205 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 15.2° under it at azimuth 326°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:49 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.
