Horizon view
Horizon from Parrot W
13.1852° S, 1.4665° E · cell 23LGK
- Highest horizon point
- Parrot W: 11.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 71°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 162°, 6.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 370 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.9° high at azimuth 75°, 40.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:41 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.
