Horizon view
Horizon from Colombo T
18.9676° S, 45.4603° E · cell 29KCB
- Highest horizon point
- Colombo T: 13.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 298°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,569 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.5° high at azimuth 342°, 65.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:00 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.
