Horizon from Vasco da Gama A
12.6304° N, 80.0702° W · cell 13PER
- Highest horizon point
- Vasco da Gama P: 17.7° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 324°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,569 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.6° under it at azimuth 85°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:26 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.
