Horizon view
Horizon from Geminus
34.4197° N, 56.6607° E · cell 30SFM
- Highest horizon point
- Geminus: 11.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 149°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 350°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,697 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.3° high at azimuth 206°, 46.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:32 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.
