Horizon view
Horizon from Virtanen Z
16.7544° N, 176.6581° E · cell 45QFL
- Highest horizon point
- Virtanen Z: 14.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 93°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,836 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 45.0° under it at azimuth 285°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:13 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.
