Horizon view
Horizon from Gilbert W
1.1133° S, 78.8191° E · cell 33MDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Gilbert W: 14.4° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 116°, 9.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,580 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.8° high at azimuth 269°, 35.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:30 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.
