Horizon view
Horizon from Mercator A
30.6390° S, 27.8266° W · cell 20JBH
- Highest horizon point
- Mercator A: 19.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 15°, 17.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,285 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.3° high at azimuth 79°, 2.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:28 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.
