Horizon view
Horizon from Roche C
39.1304° S, 139.8947° E · cell 40HJN
- Highest horizon point
- Roche C: 9.5° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 279°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 62°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,124 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 7.8° under it at azimuth 262°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:27 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.
