Horizon from Houzeau Q
18.6046° S, 125.3878° W · cell 7KJT
- Highest horizon point
- Houzeau Q: 14.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 316°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 71°, 11.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,613 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 65.2° under it at azimuth 142°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:06 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.
