Horizon from Lauritsen G
27.8975° S, 97.5353° E · cell 35JGM
- Highest horizon point
- Lauritsen G: 21.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 233°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 119°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,135 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.8° high at azimuth 285°, 9.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:20 UTC, when this page was served.
