Horizon view
Horizon from C. Herschel C
37.2264° N, 32.6185° W · cell 19SEF
- Highest horizon point
- C. Herschel C: 18.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 239°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 5°, 16.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,285 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 15.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 104° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.4°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:20 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.
