37.5188° N, 9.9311° E · cell 24SGR
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Caucasus: 13.9° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 309°.
- Farthest visible point
- 77.7 km away at azimuth 184°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,393 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.1° high at azimuth 137°, 38.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:10 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.
