Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius C
72.6409° S, 5.3825° E · cell 24CEB
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius C: 7.7° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 237°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 159°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 894 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 15.6° high at azimuth 36°, 11.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:10 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.
