Horizon view
Horizon from Xenophon
22.7937° S, 122.0493° E · cell 38KHT
- Highest horizon point
- Xenophon: 12.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 232°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 259°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,892 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.9°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:08 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.
