Horizon from Playfair K
23.2936° S, 9.7851° E · cell 24KGB
- Highest horizon point
- Playfair K: 7.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 318°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 825 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.0° high at azimuth 54°, 49.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:53:23 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.
