Horizon view
Horizon from von Békésy T
52.0000° N, 121.7340° E · cell 38UGJ
- Highest horizon point
- von Békésy T: 9.5° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 124°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 172°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,824 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 265° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.6°. At 2026-10-22 17:47:48 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.
