Horizon view
Horizon from Colombo M
14.6363° S, 47.7962° E · cell 29LEH
- Highest horizon point
- Colombo M: 7.7° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 214°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 148°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 280 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 74.6° high at azimuth 329°, 72.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:47 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.
