Horizon view
Horizon from Marius C
13.9767° N, 47.6443° W · cell 17PFB
- Highest horizon point
- Marius C: 17.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 239°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 11°, 13.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,767 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:45 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.
