Horizon view
Horizon from Briggs A
27.1248° N, 73.7790° W · cell 14RDT
- Highest horizon point
- Briggs A: 9.0° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 118°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 150°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,149 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 20.3° under it at azimuth 81°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:45 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.
