Horizon view
Horizon from Cardanus R
12.2508° N, 73.5034° W · cell 14PDV
- Highest horizon point
- Cardanus R: 4.8° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 51°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 209°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,980 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 20.1° under it at azimuth 87°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:31 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.
