Horizon view
Horizon from Gardner
17.7474° N, 33.8133° E · cell 27QHM
- Highest horizon point
- Gardner: 18.8° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 121°, 16.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,043 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.2° high at azimuth 165°, 52.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:55 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.
