Horizon view
Horizon from Billy E
14.9722° S, 49.8129° W · cell 17LCG
- Highest horizon point
- Billy: 3.9° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 345°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 40°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,047 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 1.5°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:47 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.
