Horizon from Colombo A
14.1772° S, 44.4618° E · cell 29LAH
- Highest horizon point
- Colombo A: 7.9° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 166°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 101°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,778 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 76.4° high at azimuth 340°, 68.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:08 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.
