Horizon view
Horizon from Marco Polo P
16.9673° N, 0.3185° W · cell 23QEF
- Highest horizon point
- Marco Polo S: 5.7° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 11°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 299°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,252 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.5° high at azimuth 111°, 45.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:00 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.
