Horizon from van't Hoff M
56.4063° N, 132.5112° W · cell 6VHU
- Highest horizon point
- van't Hoff M: 10.0° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 336°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 166°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 483 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.3° under it at azimuth 13°. At 2026-10-22 19:05:09 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.
