Horizon view
Horizon from Al-Khwarizmi M
3.0532° N, 107.4402° E · cell 36NKP
- Highest horizon point
- Al-Khwarizmi M: 20.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 79°, 18.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,031 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.4° high at azimuth 267°, 4.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:21 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.
