Local sky character in Agadir

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 31 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 30.4° above the horizon, so stars within 30° of it never set from here.
  • About 75.3% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
  • The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 30.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 31 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
