Horizon from Valier
6.6548° N, 174.2643° E · cell 45NCU
- Highest horizon point
- Valier: 14.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 148°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 60°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,925 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 43.1° under it at azimuth 274°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:18 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.
