Horizon view
Horizon from Toscanelli
27.9591° N, 47.6136° W · cell 17RFU
- Highest horizon point
- Toscanelli: 18.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 72°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,619 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.6°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:09 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.
