Horizon view
Horizon from Meggers S
23.9497° N, 119.7708° E · cell 38QEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Meggers S: 8.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 185°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,678 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.5° high at azimuth 265°, 2.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:12 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.
