Horizon view
Horizon from Plana D
41.7603° N, 26.1800° E · cell 26TGR
- Highest horizon point
- Plana D: 17.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 54°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 240°, 14.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,026 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.1° high at azimuth 160°, 29.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:12 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.
