Horizon view
Horizon from Marco Polo M
17.5419° N, 1.1245° W · cell 23QDG
- Highest horizon point
- Marco Polo M: 5.7° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 352°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 48°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 575 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.9° high at azimuth 111°, 44.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:35 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.
