Horizon view
Horizon from Houzeau
17.2492° S, 123.8923° W · cell 8KAE
- Highest horizon point
- Houzeau: 5.0° above the horizontal, 30.3 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 87°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,381 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 66.2° under it at azimuth 140°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:15 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.
