Horizon from Parkhurst Q
35.0398° S, 101.5079° E · cell 36HCH
- Highest horizon point
- Parkhurst Q: 8.8° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 225°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,746 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.3° high at azimuth 285°, 14.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:54 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.
