Horizon view
Horizon from Drebbel H
41.7408° S, 45.4712° W · cell 17GHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Drebbel H: 9.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 31°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,011 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.4°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:10 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.
