Horizon view
Horizon from Plato
51.6192° N, 9.3825° W · cell 22UDC
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.4° above the horizontal, 54.0 km away at azimuth 120°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 41°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,529 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.1° high at azimuth 124°, 20.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:43 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.
