- Highest horizon point
- Van de Graaff C: 19.7° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 31°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,448 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 37.0° under it at azimuth 246°. At 2026-10-22 13:44:50 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.
