Horizon from Kies C
26.0733° S, 26.1720° W · cell 20JCP
- Highest horizon point
- Kies C: 12.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,378 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.1° high at azimuth 78°, 18.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:25:28 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.
