Horizon view
Horizon from Firmicus M
4.0795° N, 66.6474° E · cell 31NJE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.2° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 36°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 314°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,076 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.2° high at azimuth 260°, 58.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:09 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.
