Horizon view
Horizon from Ramsden G
35.3469° S, 31.6720° W · cell 19HFT
- Highest horizon point
- Ramsden G: 22.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 136°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 189°, 20.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,090 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 19.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 77° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.3°. At 2026-10-22 22:02:19 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.
