Horizon view
Horizon from Marius P
17.8981° N, 51.3369° W · cell 17QBG
- Highest horizon point
- Marius P: 12.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 143°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,260 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.9°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:49 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.
