Horizon view
Horizon from Airy
18.1416° S, 5.6149° E · cell 24KCH
- Highest horizon point
- Airy: 12.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 75°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 335°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,716 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.8° high at azimuth 64°, 43.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:37 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.
