Horizon view
Horizon from Saussure CA
45.3012° S, 0.5916° W · cell 23GEL
- Highest horizon point
- Saussure CA: 6.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,141 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.7° high at azimuth 49°, 31.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:35 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.
