Horizon view
Horizon from Palitzsch
28.0239° S, 64.3896° E · cell 31JFG
- Highest horizon point
- Palitzsch: 6.3° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 298°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.9 km away at azimuth 12°, 1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,290 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.9° high at azimuth 313°, 47.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:15 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.
