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 somewhere
lower 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.)

How many hours of daylight does latitude 51 degrees north receive?
At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 33 minutes during the summer solstice and 7 hours, 55 minutes during the winter solstice.
What days of the year is the sun directly overhead at 0 degrees latitude?
The Sun is never directly overhead in the Continental US. The Sun's maximum inclination is 23.26 degrees, at the Summer Solstice, but Key West, the southern most point of the Continental US, is 24.5 degrees. It is close, but it is not directly overhead.
Are days longer during a solstice?
No. At the summer solstice, the days are at their longest, but at the winter solstice, the days are at their shortest.
Does the moon revolve in earth's equatorial plane?
No, it does not. The inclination of the moon's orbital plane is anywhere from 18.3 degrees to 28.6 degrees. The moon does intersect earth's equatorial plane twice during every sidereal orbit.
Why is the Arctic Circle located at 66.5 degrees N?
The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solsticerespectively).
If you were in the northern hemisphere during the summer solstice what line of latitude is closest to the sun?
About 23.5 degrees
When do the Sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees at an angle of 90 degrees?
During the solstice (our summer for north, our winter for south).
How many hours of daylight does latitude 51 degrees north receive?
At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 33 minutes during the summer solstice and 7 hours, 55 minutes during the winter solstice.
Why is the sun 23.5 degrees lower during the winter solstice?
That would be "lower than at an equinox". That's because the inclination of Earth's axis happens to be 23.5°.
How many degrees below the horizon does the sun go at night on the winter solstice at latitude 57 degrees north?
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.
A city at 60 latitude and dark in December?
The Arctic Circle is at 60 degrees latitude and is dark throughout the month of December. This time falls during the Winter Solstice.
Does the sky get darker than astronomical twilight on dates near the June solstice in Munich Germany disregarding light pollution?
No, astronomical twilight is the darkest stage of twilight where the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. Near the June solstice in Munich, there may be some residual light in the sky even during astronomical twilight due to the high latitude of the location. The sky may not get significantly darker than astronomical twilight on those dates.
What is the length of night during a solstice?
It can be anything from zero hours to 24 hours, depending on where on Earth you are, and whether you are talking about the summer solstice or the winter solstice. At the summer solstice, the day is between 12-24 hours, depending on your location, and the night is between 0 and 12 hours.
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the northern hemisphere would be 66.5 degrees N (Arctic Circle)
How many degrees latitude will the sun be at noon during Fall Equinox 2008?
At the equinox, the Sun will be directly above the equator, 0 degrees latitude.
What are the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer?
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are lines of latitude that define the Tropics. They also mark the northernmost and southernmost latitudes at which the Sun shines directly overhead at midday during the June solstice and December solstice respectively.
What days of the year is the sun directly overhead at 0 degrees latitude?
The Sun is never directly overhead in the Continental US. The Sun's maximum inclination is 23.26 degrees, at the Summer Solstice, but Key West, the southern most point of the Continental US, is 24.5 degrees. It is close, but it is not directly overhead.
