Horizon view
Horizon from Lauritsen Z
25.8568° S, 96.3536° E · cell 35JFP
- Highest horizon point
- Lauritsen Z: 6.3° above the horizontal, 29.4 km away at azimuth 298°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 138°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,973 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.5° high at azimuth 285°, 26.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:40 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.
