Horizon view
Horizon from Biot B
20.4333° S, 49.5773° E · cell 29KGA
- Highest horizon point
- Biot B: 5.7° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 297°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 35°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 69 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.0° high at azimuth 324°, 62.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:14:17 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.
