Horizon view
Horizon from Parsons L
33.6508° N, 169.9102° W · cell 2SDF
- Highest horizon point
- Parsons L: 10.8° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 56°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 278°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,895 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 49.2° under it at azimuth 317°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:28 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.
