Horizon from Purbach N
26.2991° S, 5.3980° W · cell 22JHJ
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach N: 16.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 103°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 55°, 14.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,157 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.8° high at azimuth 67°, 25.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:39:26 UTC, when this page was served.
