Horizon view
Horizon from Vening Meinesz
0.1020° S, 162.5078° E · cell 43MJV
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.5° above the horizontal, 44.5 km away at azimuth 334°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 127°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,762 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 31.5° under it at azimuth 268°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:40 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.
