Horizon view
Horizon from Vitruvius
17.6627° N, 31.2797° E · cell 27QEM
- Highest horizon point
- Vitruvius: 7.9° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 322°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 71°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,876 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.2° high at azimuth 164°, 63.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:42:56 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.
