Horizon view
Horizon from Ginzel
14.2496° N, 97.4003° E · cell 35PGC
- Highest horizon point
- Ginzel: 6.0° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 277°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 353°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,221 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.1° high at azimuth 259°, 26.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:02 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.
