Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Yangel'
16.6242° N, 4.7935° E · cell 24QBL
- Highest horizon point
- Yangel': 2.1° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 357°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 34°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,226 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.2° high at azimuth 114°, 50.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:16 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.
