Horizon from Plutarch
24.1768° N, 79.0519° E · cell 33RDV
- Highest horizon point
- Plutarch: 19.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 8°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,605 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 241°, 29.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:49 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.
