Horizon view
Horizon from Colombo J
14.3014° S, 43.6171° E · cell 28LKC
- Highest horizon point
- Colombo J: 12.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 103°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,173 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 76.5° high at azimuth 343°, 67.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:54 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.
