Horizon view
Horizon from Marco Polo H
17.8072° N, 1.6913° W · cell 23QDG
- Highest horizon point
- Marco Polo H: 14.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 61°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 23 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.7° high at azimuth 112°, 41.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:43 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.
