Horizon from Pontécoulant C
55.6777° S, 59.2309° E · cell 30FHC
- Highest horizon point
- Pontécoulant C: 9.2° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 111°, 7.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,023 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.7° high at azimuth 338°, 26.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:02:00 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.
