Horizon from Akis
20.0109° N, 31.7594° W · cell 19QFE
- Highest horizon point
- Akis: 1.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,163 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.6° high at azimuth 98°, 15.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:22 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.
