Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius W
22.6952° S, 35.6866° E · cell 27KKC
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius W: 12.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 347°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 30°, 9.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 458 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.5° high at azimuth 6°, 57.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:16 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.
