Horizon from Ritter C
2.7489° N, 18.8619° E · cell 25NJD
- Highest horizon point
- Ritter C: 17.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 65°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 115°, 12.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,222 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.8° high at azimuth 102°, 56.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:34 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.
