Horizon view
Horizon from Vallis Alpes
49.2088° N, 3.6314° E · cell 23UHE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.3° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 87.2 km away at azimuth 240°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,729 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.4° high at azimuth 136°, 25.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:13 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.
