Horizon view
Horizon from Al-Biruni
18.0713° N, 92.6162° E · cell 35QBG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.3° above the horizontal, 39.8 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 71°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,951 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.3° high at azimuth 255°, 31.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:57 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.
