But, France is flat, while Mars is not... #sarcasm
As a Flatmarser, I will have to disagree.
Mars is not flat ! But it's a hollow planet, with martians inside, that's why we didnt found them yet
That implies that someone standing on Olympus Mons' summit could see nothing but Olympus Mons.
I think that's actually true. (Well, and the sky, of course)
@ProfElvenson quiero contraataque
A ver, es un volcán grande, ta bien. El Monte Maxwell sólo es el magma solidificado alrededor de un continente superviviente a un cataclismo global que renovó toda la corteza de Venus. En el que, por cierto, nieva pirita. Pero un montón de tierra grande está bien, sí.
Yes the true horizon increases with the diameter of the planet - on Earth the true horizon would be 577 km. You still couldn't see the summit from the base though :)
