Horizon from Taruntius W
5.4364° N, 49.0458° E · cell 29NGM
- Highest horizon point
- Taruntius W: 2.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 10°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 331°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,424 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 78.2° high at azimuth 235°, 77.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:20 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.
