- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 860 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.1°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:40 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.
