Horizon view
Horizon from Orontius C
37.9678° S, 4.1062° W · cell 22HJP
- Highest horizon point
- Orontius C: 21.3° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 125°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,958 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.5° high at azimuth 57°, 20.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:39 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.
