Well, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere the sun will be going across the northern sky and if you are in the northern it will go across the southern. Depending on where you are you will know if the sun is in the north sky.

Where is the sun at noon?
At noon, the Sun would cross the meridian, wherever you live.September is close to an equinox; if you live at the Equator, the Sun would be at the zenith. For every degree further north that you live, the Sun would be a degree south of the zenith. For example, if you live at 50 degrees latitude North, the Sun would be 40 degrees above the horizon (towards the South) i.e., 50 degrees from the zenit.
Where will be the sun at noon?
When the Sun is at its highest position, it is at a line called the meridian. It is a line that goes from north to south, passing through the zenith.
At which latitude would you expect the sun to be directly overhead at noon on April 21?
I think that the sun is only ever directly overhead the equator at noon on any day of the year.
Is the sun always highest in the sky at noon?
Yes the sun is always highest in the sky at noon
As viewed from the continental US local noon is defined as the moment when the Sun is?
As viewed from the continental US local noon is defined as the moment when the Sun is positioned directly on the meridian, an imaginary line that crosses the sky from directly north to directly south.
Is the sun overhead at noon at 42 degrees north?
The sun is never overhead at 42 degrees north.
Which way is the north pole?
north, At noon, face the sun, north is directly behind you.
Does the location of the sunset point correlate with how high the sun is in the sky at noon?
Yes, to an extent. In the northern hemisphere summer, the Sun rises somewhat north of east, and the Sun will be higher in the sky at noon. (In the southern hemisphere summers, the Sun rises SOUTH of east and is higher at noon.)In the winter, the sun rises south of east (north of east for the southern hemisphere) and is lower in the sky at noon.
What is the sun's altitude noon time sun on June 21 on 41 degress north?
72.5 degrees

How much higher is the sun at noon compared to midnight at latitude 80 degrees north - on days where the sun never sets?
First, we need the "transit altitude" of the celestial equator, at 80 degrees north. That's 90 - 80 degrees = 10 degrees. At noon (local apparent noon) the Sun's altitude will be: 10 degrees + the Sun's declination. That's the altitude of the Sun's "upper culmination". At "midnight" (the Sun's "lower culmination") the Sun's altitude will be: the Sun's declination - 10 degrees. So, the difference in altitude is 20 degrees. The Sun is 20 degrees higher at noon.
What is the lowest the sun can ever be in the sky at local noon at latitude 6 degrees 34 minutes north?
The lowest the sun can ever be in the sky at local noon at latitude 6 degrees 34 minutes north is approximately 145 million kilometres.
Where will be the sun at noon?
When the Sun is at its highest position, it is at a line called the meridian. It is a line that goes from north to south, passing through the zenith.
What date does the North Pole have a higher noon sun angle than New York city on what date?
The sun can never be higher in the sky at the north pole than it is in the sky at New York City. The highest solar noon elevation at the north pole is 23.5 degrees, on June 21. On the same date, the solar noon elevation in Manhattan's Central Park is about 73 degrees.
What are the angle of the sunś rays in summer for latittude 50?
On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.
Where does the noon sun fall during the equinox?
During the equinoxes, when the Sun is at its highest, it will be at a distance from the zenith which is the same as your geographical latitude, but in the opposite direction. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, the Sun will be 50 degrees south of the zenith at noon.
Which latitude would you expect the sun to be directly overhead at noon on April 21?
8 degrees north
