Horizon view
Horizon from Birt E
20.7221° S, 9.6623° W · cell 22KDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Birt E: 8.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,455 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.3° high at azimuth 74°, 30.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:07 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.
