Horizon view
Horizon from Biot D
24.3414° S, 50.3466° E · cell 29JHR
- Highest horizon point
- Biot D: 14.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 117°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 179°, 12.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,599 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.9° high at azimuth 326°, 53.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:18 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.
