Horizon view
Horizon from Snellius
29.3332° S, 55.7048° E · cell 30JEQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.7° above the horizontal, 37.9 km away at azimuth 333°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.0 km away at azimuth 165°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,758 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.7° high at azimuth 331°, 54.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:17 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.
