Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan C
38.6381° N, 46.1001° W · cell 17SGM
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan C: 16.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 14.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,866 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 94° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.3°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:46 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.
