Horizon view
Horizon from Parsons P
35.5725° N, 172.7290° W · cell 1SJD
- Highest horizon point
- Parsons P: 10.7° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 151°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 44°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,454 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 45.5° under it at azimuth 313°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:52 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.
