Horizon from Al-Khwarizmi J
6.1894° N, 108.1440° E · cell 37NAH
- Highest horizon point
- Al-Khwarizmi J: 7.9° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 66°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 230°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,667 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.2° high at azimuth 266°, 16.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:40 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.
