Horizon view
Horizon from Zwicky
16.1746° S, 167.6443° E · cell 44KEF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.4° above the horizontal, 45.5 km away at azimuth 145°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 317°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,438 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.5° under it at azimuth 257°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:02 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.
