Horizon from Vasco da Gama R
9.9134° N, 83.5129° W · cell 13PAN
- Highest horizon point
- Vasco da Gama R: 2.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 276°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 22°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 957 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 85°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:14 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.
