Horizon view
Horizon from Al-Biruni C
18.4183° N, 93.0571° E · cell 35QBH
- Highest horizon point
- Al-Biruni: 18.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 184°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 3°, 14.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,942 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.5° high at azimuth 256°, 18.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:56 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.
