Horizon view
Horizon from Family Mountain
20.3786° N, 30.3417° E · cell 27QDQ
- Highest horizon point
- South Massif: 8.6° above the horizontal, 10.7 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.7 km away at azimuth 229°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,903 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.2° high at azimuth 161°, 61.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:05:01 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
