Horizon view
Horizon from Taizo
24.7024° N, 2.1961° E · cell 23RHQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.2° above the horizontal, 23.0 km away at azimuth 107°.
- Farthest visible point
- 79.1 km away at azimuth 42°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,036 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.3° high at azimuth 121°, 38.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:19 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
