Horizon view
Horizon from Plato H
55.1650° N, 2.0279° W · cell 23UDM
- Highest horizon point
- Plato H: 22.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 248°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,141 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.7° high at azimuth 135°, 3.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:01 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.
