Horizon view
Horizon from Ritz
15.3701° S, 92.3848° E · cell 35LAG
- Highest horizon point
- Ritz: 10.7° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 124°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 31°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,021 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.5° high at azimuth 280°, 32.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:32 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.
