On the winter solstice at a latitude of 57 degrees north, the sun will be about 33 degrees below the horizon at night. This is because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun to not rise above a certain angle during the winter months at this latitude.

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 Solar inclination at latitude 35 degrees north during winter solstice?
At the time of the winter solstice, the sun is 23.5 degrees south of the equator.That's 58.5 degrees south of latitude 35 degrees north.So, depending on your exact observing location on the 35th north parallel, the sun appears somewherelower than 58.5 degrees below your zenith, or less than 31.5 degrees above your horizon.(That's the highest in your sky that it can be, but it can be anywhere lower than that.)
What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizon at noon in Jakarta Indonesia on the winter solstice(Assume the latitude of Jakarta is 6(Degrees south)?
At the time of the southern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which circles Earth at 23.44° north latitude. So at 6° south latitude the sun appears 29.44° from the zenith (a location's zenith is directly overhead). Since there are 90° between the zenith and the horizon, the angle for which you are looking is the difference between 90° and 29.44°, 60.56°.
When do the Sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees at an angle of 90 degrees?

How are the Arctic and Antarctic circle like?
The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the southern Winter Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Antarctic Frigid Zone. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the northern Winter Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Arctic Frigid Zone.

It also marks the northernmost point of the Tropic Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.
