Horizon view
Horizon from Volkov
13.6189° S, 131.6652° E · cell 39LKP
- Highest horizon point
- Volkov: 9.1° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 196°.
- Farthest visible point
- 64.4 km away at azimuth 142°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 26 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.8° under it at azimuth 268°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:25 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.
