Horizon view
Horizon from Whewell
4.1604° N, 13.7338° E · cell 25NCF
- Highest horizon point
- Whewell: 19.2° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 228°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 30°, 16.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,374 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.3° high at azimuth 103°, 50.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:00 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.
