Horizon view
Horizon from Racah U
13.1597° S, 177.1047° E · cell 45LGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Racah U: 12.3° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 282°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,720 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 45.2° under it at azimuth 254°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:59 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.
