Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius P
25.5076° S, 33.3423° E · cell 27JGV
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius P: 15.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 234°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 252 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.6° high at azimuth 8°, 55.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:07 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.
