Horizon view
Horizon from Marco Polo S
17.7624° N, 0.0061° E · cell 23QFG
- Highest horizon point
- Marco Polo S: 4.5° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 223°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 323°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 450 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.0° high at azimuth 112°, 43.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:40:02 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.
