Horizon view
Horizon from Maclear A
11.3042° N, 18.0020° E · cell 25PHP
- Highest horizon point
- Maclear A: 5.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,540 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.9° high at azimuth 119°, 60.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:38:47 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.
