Horizon view
Horizon from Virtanen J
14.0281° N, 178.0611° E · cell 45PHH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 12.2° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 105°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 101°, 11.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 724 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 47.3° under it at azimuth 284°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:34 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.
