Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Ardeshir
5.0259° N, 121.0417° E · cell 38NGM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 13.0° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 228°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,566 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.5° high at azimuth 268°, 1.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:40 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.
