Horizon from Racah
13.5028° S, 179.8693° W · cell 1LAD
- Highest horizon point
- Racah: 8.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 138°.
- Farthest visible point
- 81.5 km away at azimuth 235°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,385 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.8° under it at azimuth 253°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:06 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.
