Horizon view
Horizon from Saunder
4.2601° S, 8.7179° E · cell 24MFE
- Highest horizon point
- Saunder: 2.3° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 193°, 1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 78 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.9° high at azimuth 85°, 59.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:35:14 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.
