Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus P
17.5551° S, 66.3312° E · cell 31KHU
- Highest horizon point
- Vendelinus P: 14.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 9°, 9.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,435 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.4° high at azimuth 298°, 46.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:45 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.
