Horizon view
Horizon from Montes Riphaeus
7.4829° S, 27.6025° W · cell 20MAR
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Riphaeus: 4.8° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 160°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.0 km away at azimuth 333°, -0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,433 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.2° high at azimuth 89°, 17.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:41 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.
