Horizon from Römer U
24.2815° N, 39.1515° E · cell 28REK
- Highest horizon point
- Römer U: 8.4° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 132°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 306°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 840 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.3° high at azimuth 184°, 62.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:12 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.
