Horizon view
Horizon from Virtanen C
17.2810° N, 178.1956° E · cell 45QHL
- Highest horizon point
- Virtanen C: 14.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 90°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 151°, 11.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,579 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.1° under it at azimuth 287°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:15 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.
