Horizon view
Horizon from Cavendish
24.6251° S, 53.7833° W · cell 16JHL
- Highest horizon point
- Cavendish: 7.0° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 235°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.8 km away at azimuth 202°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,269 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.8° under it at azimuth 93°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:21 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.
