Horizon view
Horizon from Fauth E
5.3906° N, 20.7220° W · cell 20NJM
- Highest horizon point
- Fauth E: 5.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 146°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,067 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.6° high at azimuth 95°, 25.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:19 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.
