Horizon view
Horizon from Playfair J
24.2700° S, 9.2786° E · cell 24JGA
- Highest horizon point
- Playfair J: 8.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 331°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 3°, 7.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 996 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.9° high at azimuth 53°, 48.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:00 UTC, when this page was served.
