Horizon view
Horizon from Beer A
27.2721° N, 8.6170° W · cell 22REP
- Highest horizon point
- Beer A: 6.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 244°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,322 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.5° high at azimuth 114°, 30.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:31 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.
