Horizon from Vasco da Gama S
12.6280° N, 82.9359° W · cell 13PBR
- Highest horizon point
- Vasco da Gama S: 13.9° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 116°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 232°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,466 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 32.1° under it at azimuth 84°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:13 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.
