Horizon view
Horizon from Orontius
40.3691° S, 3.9599° W · cell 23GBS
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.3° above the horizontal, 61.6 km away at azimuth 230°.
- Farthest visible point
- 78.7 km away at azimuth 48°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,042 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.6° high at azimuth 58°, 32.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:52 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.
