Horizon view
Horizon from Hecataeus
22.0613° S, 79.6754° E · cell 33KED
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.3° above the horizontal, 55.9 km away at azimuth 166°.
- Farthest visible point
- 84.3 km away at azimuth 302°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,705 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.1° high at azimuth 293°, 45.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:40 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.
