A Parametric Framework for Quantifying Earth-View Visibility in Lunar Surface Habitats

Window views are a critical component of habitability in long-duration space missions, supporting psychological well-being, spatial orientation, and operational performance. Although quantitative window-view evaluation methods are well established in Earth-based architecture, their direct application to extraterrestrial environments is limited by distinct orbital geometry, extreme environmental conditions, and altered human visual perception in reduced gravity. This study advances a transferable framework that integrates orbital-scale visibility constraints with architectural view analysis to evaluate Earth-view quality in lunar surface habitats.
