Horizon view
Horizon from Ross
11.6690° N, 21.7375° E · cell 26PCV
- Highest horizon point
- Ross: 9.7° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 252°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 3°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,352 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.8° high at azimuth 123°, 58.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:11 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.
