Horizon view
Horizon from Vasco da Gama
13.7807° N, 83.9386° W · cell 13PAS
- Highest horizon point
- Vasco da Gama: 5.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 89°.
- Farthest visible point
- 59.7 km away at azimuth 139°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,180 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 33.4° under it at azimuth 82°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:07 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.
