Horizon view
Horizon from Alter K
16.2175° N, 106.1888° W · cell 10QCV
- Highest horizon point
- Alter K: 13.5° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 34°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 30°, 12.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 272 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 52.1° under it at azimuth 71°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:50 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.
