Is the sun high or low is summer?
The is low in the summer
Why the sun at noon look small?
When the sun (or moon) is high in the sky there are no objects of known size to compare the sun (or moon) to. But whan the sun is low in the sky you can see far off objects near the horizon that you know ar big and you imagine that the sun is even bigger (it is!) The apparent change in size is an optical illusion.
Why is the sun high in the sky at noon?
Well, you're looking at it backwards. The concept of "noon" is man-made. Noon describes that point during the day when the sun is directly (or nearly) overhead. So, to answer your question, the sun is high in the sky at noon because we define "noon" as that time during the day when the sun is high in the sky.
When does the sun look low in the sky?
At dawn/dusk and at latitudes near the poles.
Can The atmosphere produce the same effects as a prism when the Sun is low in the sky?
yes
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky and during which season does the sun sppear low in the sky?
Late spring, summer and early fall the sun appears high in the sky, late fall, winter and early spring, it appears to be low in the sky. this is caused by earth's tilting when orbiting around the sun and rotating on it's axis.
Is the sun higher in hot countries?
Yes, the sun is always high in the sky in the tropics. At the equator the sun is always higher at noon than it ever gets in Britain.
Where is the sun in the winter?
Low in the sky
Do places on the equator get seasons just like Britain?
No. Near the equator the sun is always very high in the sky so freezing temperatures can not occur.
Why are shadows shorter in the summer?
At noon in Summer, the Sun is high in the sky, so the shadows are shorter. At noon in Winter, the Sun is low in the sky, so the shadows are longer. A winter sun is more likely to dazzle you, as it is lower in the sky throughout its travel between dawn to dusk.

When the sun is low in the sky a sun dog usually appears yellow or orange in color why?
When the sun is low in the sky, the sunlight has a greater amount of atmosphere to travel through than when the sun is high in the sky. Atmosphere has some degree of filtering effect on sunlight because longer wavelengths (the reddish ones) are more likely to bounce off of air molecules than the shorter (bluish) ones are. This phenomenon is formally known as Rayleigh scattering. Look it up on google for more information.
