Horizon view
Horizon from Ritchey N
11.1622° S, 9.9994° E · cell 24LHS
- Highest horizon point
- Ritchey N: 6.5° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 186°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 212°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 272 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.7° high at azimuth 71°, 59.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:45:57 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.
