Horizon view
Horizon from Birt K
22.4043° S, 9.6905° W · cell 22KDN
- Highest horizon point
- Birt: 1.6° above the horizontal, 23.7 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 72°, 1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,363 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.5° high at azimuth 73°, 36.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:09 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.
