Horizon view
Horizon from Secchi
2.4039° N, 43.5585° E · cell 28NKC
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Secchi: 8.4° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 273°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,681 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 84.6° high at azimuth 225°, 81.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:38:52 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.
