Horizon view
Horizon from Alexander A
40.7808° N, 14.9360° E · cell 25TEK
- Highest horizon point
- Alexander: 8.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 354°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,044 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.2° high at azimuth 149°, 36.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:25 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.
