Horizon view
Horizon from Montes Taurus
27.3232° N, 40.3355° E · cell 28RFP
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Taurus: 13.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 22°.
- Farthest visible point
- 118 km away at azimuth 200°, -1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 804 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.3° high at azimuth 179°, 62.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:12 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.
