Horizon view
Horizon from Parrot A
15.3282° S, 2.0800° E · cell 23LHG
- Highest horizon point
- Parrot A: 8.2° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 135°.
- Farthest visible point
- 62.5 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 965 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.9° high at azimuth 73°, 47.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:42:15 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.
