Horizon view
Horizon from Väisälä
25.9025° N, 47.8975° W · cell 17RFS
- Highest horizon point
- Väisälä: 22.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,343 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.1°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:58 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.
