Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan
41.5965° N, 43.4979° W · cell 18TBA
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan: 9.0° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 178°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 24°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,455 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 96° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.0°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:35 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.
