Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius N
22.1300° S, 49.4134° W · cell 17KDU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.2° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 187°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 115°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,045 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.8°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:19 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.
