Horizon view
Horizon from Birt C
23.6903° S, 8.3667° W · cell 22KEM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.9° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 3°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,113 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.8° high at azimuth 71°, 38.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:28 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.
