Horizon view
Horizon from Fauth A
5.9832° N, 20.1899° W · cell 20NKN
- Highest horizon point
- Fauth A: 14.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 282°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 19°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,855 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.4° high at azimuth 95°, 18.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:45 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.
