Horizon view
Horizon from Recht
9.7613° N, 123.9949° E · cell 38PKS
- Highest horizon point
- Recht: 20.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 144°, 14.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 177 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.4°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:18 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.
