Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland O
63.2620° S, 18.5106° E · cell 25EGD
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland O: 12.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 141°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,805 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.2° high at azimuth 23°, 17.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:30 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.
