Horizon view
Horizon from Firmicus A
6.4359° N, 64.9631° E · cell 31NGH
- Highest horizon point
- Firmicus A: 16.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 93°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,486 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.2° high at azimuth 255°, 46.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:26 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.
