Horizon view
Horizon from Hommel P
56.9797° S, 31.7434° E · cell 27EEA
- Highest horizon point
- Hommel P: 5.4° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 65°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 323°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,287 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.0° high at azimuth 10°, 29.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:47 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.
