Horizon view
Horizon from Hecataeus K
19.5955° S, 79.6929° E · cell 33KEG
- Highest horizon point
- Hecataeus K: 5.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 259°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,393 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.0° high at azimuth 291°, 45.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:08 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.
