Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus Z
17.2015° S, 62.4129° E · cell 31KDV
- Highest horizon point
- Vendelinus: 15.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 201°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,493 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.2° high at azimuth 301°, 47.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:22 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.
