Horizon view
Horizon from Parrot J
17.0275° S, 1.7827° E · cell 23KHE
- Highest horizon point
- Parrot J: 8.0° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 163°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 49°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 472 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.7° high at azimuth 70°, 47.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:43 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.
