Horizon view
Horizon from La Hire A
28.5258° N, 23.4608° W · cell 20RFV
- Highest horizon point
- La Hire A: 17.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 79°, 11.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,370 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.0° high at azimuth 105°, 9.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:58 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.
