Horizon from Gay-Lussac D
14.5753° N, 21.0635° W · cell 20PJC
- Highest horizon point
- Gay-Lussac D: 9.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 79°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 109°, 7.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,923 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.2° high at azimuth 100°, 21.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:24 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.
