Horizon from Zhiritskiy
24.8383° S, 120.2591° E · cell 38JFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Zhiritskiy: 14.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 279°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 93°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,036 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 273° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.9°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:02 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.
