Horizon view
Horizon from Colombo E
15.8176° S, 42.3839° E · cell 28LHA
- Highest horizon point
- Colombo E: 17.7° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 64°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 160°, 12.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,013 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 75.2° high at azimuth 348°, 59.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:24:58 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.
