Horizon view
Horizon from Parkhurst
33.2851° S, 103.6935° E · cell 36HEK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.9° above the horizontal, 46.4 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 248°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,648 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.4° high at azimuth 285°, 20.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:39 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.
