Horizon view
Horizon from Joy
25.0112° N, 6.5587° E · cell 24RDA
- Highest horizon point
- Joy: 12.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 53°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 915 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.4° high at azimuth 124°, 39.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:38:52 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.
