Horizon view
Horizon from Playfair G
23.9921° S, 6.0859° E · cell 24KCA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.1° above the horizontal, 51.2 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 86.2 km away at azimuth 92°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,286 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.3° high at azimuth 61°, 48.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:20 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.
