Horizon view
Horizon from Virchow
9.8789° N, 83.7658° E · cell 33PKB
- Highest horizon point
- Neper: 10.0° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 123°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 311°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,058 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.6° high at azimuth 259°, 34.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:58:01 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.
