Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas
20.5670° N, 20.5943° W · cell 20QJK
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas: 13.4° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 304°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 11.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,098 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.2° high at azimuth 104°, 18.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:56 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.
