On what dates is the angle of assention of the sun at its zenith as viewed from Austin TX closest to the angle of assention of the sun at its zenith on the summer solstice as viewed from New York?
The sun is never straight overhead at either of these two locations, as their latitude is greater than 23.5 degrees north. Austin, Texas, is about 30.25 degrees north, so the sun will be 30.25 - 23.50 = 6.75 degrees off directly overhead, or 83.25 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice. New York is about 40.75 degrees north, so the sun will be 40.75 - 23.50 = 17.25 degrees off directly overhead, or 72.75 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice.

When is the sun directly overhead Connecticut?
the sun is strongest (directly overhead) at around 12-1 o'clockDifferent Answer:The sun doesn't reach the zenith (is NEVERdirectly overhead) when viewed from Connecticut because of Connecticut's latitude and the tilt of the Earth. The reason why the sun is not always directly over the equator is due to Earth's axial tilt, which allows it to be seen directly overhead up to 23.5 degrees north or south. Connecticut is around 42 degrees north, so the sun will always be towards the south at noon, even on June 21st.
