Horizon view
Horizon from Vitruvius M
16.1287° N, 31.5081° E · cell 27QEK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.1° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 105°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 298°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,424 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.9° high at azimuth 156°, 68.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:33 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.
