- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.0° above the horizontal, 57.8 km away at azimuth 164°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 67°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,435 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 9.2° under it at azimuth 276°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:10 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.
