Horizon view
Horizon from Balboa
19.2367° N, 83.3080° W · cell 13QBD
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.9° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 250°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 144°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 978 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 32.7° under it at azimuth 79°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:44 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.
