Horizon view
Horizon from Wegener W
47.1070° N, 116.4073° W · cell 8THC
- Highest horizon point
- Wegener W: 8.2° above the horizontal, 23.7 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 118°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 251 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.2° under it at azimuth 30°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:25 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.
