Horizon view
Horizon from Van der Waals
43.5564° S, 119.9806° E · cell 38GEN
- Highest horizon point
- Van der Waals: 10.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 117°.
- Farthest visible point
- 79.6 km away at azimuth 259°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,077 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.9° high at azimuth 277°, 8.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:33 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.
