Horizon view
Horizon from Heis D
31.6573° N, 31.1126° W · cell 19RFU
- Highest horizon point
- Heis D: 19.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,121 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 17.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 103° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.2°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:56 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.
