Horizon view
Horizon from Briggs
26.4528° N, 69.1873° W · cell 14RJT
- Highest horizon point
- Briggs: 2.7° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 24°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,765 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 16.3° under it at azimuth 83°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:28 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.
