Horizon from Billy
13.8324° S, 50.2382° W · cell 17LCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Billy: 2.8° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 41°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,394 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 2.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:51 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.
