Horizon view
Horizon from Marius G
12.0908° N, 50.5974° W · cell 17PBV
- Highest horizon point
- Marius: 8.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 83°, 7.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,543 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.0°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:10 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.
