Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Ganau
4.7919° N, 120.5888° E · cell 38NFL
- Highest horizon point
- King: 11.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 294°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 24°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 262 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.3°. At 2026-10-22 18:05:05 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.
