Horizon view
Horizon from Gauricus C
35.2613° S, 10.7285° W · cell 22HCT
- Highest horizon point
- Gauricus C: 12.4° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 83°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 806 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.2° high at azimuth 64°, 22.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:42 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.
