Horizon view
Horizon from Behaim
16.6056° S, 79.4051° E · cell 33KEK
- Highest horizon point
- Behaim: 9.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 2°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 237°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,201 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.3° high at azimuth 288°, 46.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:00 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.
