Horizon view
Horizon from Yangel'
16.9565° N, 4.6878° E · cell 24QBL
- Highest horizon point
- Yangel': 7.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 254°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 11°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,472 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.0° high at azimuth 116°, 46.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:42 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.
