Horizon view
Horizon from Diderot
20.4174° S, 121.5438° E · cell 38KGA
- Highest horizon point
- Diderot: 14.3° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 113°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.0°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:18 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.
