At the northern solstice the subsolar point reaches to 23.44° north, known as the Tropic of Cancer. Likewise at the southern solstice the same thing happens for latitude 23.44° south, known as the Tropic of Capricorn. The sub-solar point will cross every latitude between these two extremes exactly twice per year.

What is the suns altitude at noon at the equator on june21?
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
What is the latitude of an observer who measures an altitude of the sun above the northern horizon of 50.0(Degrees) at noon on the winter solstice?
On the Tropic of Capricorn the Sun is overhead at the summer solstice and 47 degrees off the vertical, or 43 degrees above the horizon, at the winter solstice. So the observer here must be 7 degrees further north than the tropic of capricorn: the latitude is 16.4 degrees south.
What is the latitude of an observer who measures an altitude of the sun above the southern horizon at 15.5(Degrees) at noon on the winter solstice?
The observer must be 15.5 degrees south of the Arctic circle, so 51.1 degrees north approximately.
What is the symbol for winter solstice?

Where would you have to be to have the sun pass through your zenith at noon during the winter solstice?
That isn't possible. If you are at one of the tropics (23.5 degrees north or south of the equator), then the Sun will pass the zenith at noon, during a solstice. But in both cases (north versus south), that would happen at the SUMMER solstice.

What is the Earth's solstice?
The solstices occur when the Sun reaches its maximum angular distance above or below the sky's "celestial equator". At local noon, at the solstice, the Sun is at its highest in the sky (summer solstice) or lowest (winter solstice) for the year. The solstices occur around the 21st of June and 21st of December. The summer solstice is in June in the northern hemisphere and in December in the southern hemisphere. At the summer solstice, the Sun is overhead at local noon on the tropic of Cancer (northern hemisphere) and the tropic of Capricorn (southern hemisphere).

Why is the noon solar intensity greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice?
The sun angle is greater during the summer solstice. This is because the Earth is tilted toward the sun rather than away from it.
