Horizon view
Horizon from Plato K
46.8304° N, 3.2568° W · cell 23TCB
- Highest horizon point
- Plato K: 17.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 150°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,508 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.0° high at azimuth 131°, 16.3° 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.
