Horizon view
Horizon from Encke
4.5707° N, 36.6830° W · cell 18NKR
- Highest horizon point
- Encke: 4.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 338°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 36°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,609 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 15.6° high at azimuth 93°, 13.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:53 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.
