Horizon from Purbach H
25.4713° S, 5.6900° W · cell 22JHK
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach H: 7.4° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 98°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 163°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,712 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.1° high at azimuth 68°, 34.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:09 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.
