Horizon view
Horizon from Vavilov
0.8701° S, 138.7731° W · cell 6MBJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.4° above the horizontal, 45.5 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.8 km away at azimuth 5°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,479 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 87.8° under it at azimuth 175°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:04 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.
