Horizon view
Horizon from Racah K
16.5561° S, 178.7667° W · cell 1KBV
- Highest horizon point
- Racah K: 11.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 143°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 258°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 999 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 47.9° under it at azimuth 249°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:18 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.
