Horizon view
Horizon from Rayleigh C
31.4424° N, 85.7677° E · cell 34RCU
- Highest horizon point
- Rayleigh C: 11.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 207°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,499 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.2° high at azimuth 243°, 25.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:50 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.
