Horizon view
Horizon from Aratus C
24.0776° N, 9.4590° E · cell 24RGV
- Highest horizon point
- Aratus C: 4.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 222°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,642 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.1° high at azimuth 126°, 48.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:51 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.
