What is the relationship between the time of year and the angle of the sun in the sky?

The angle of the Sun in the sky, its maximum height above the horizon, depends on a measurement called its declination, which varies over a range of ±23.5 degrees.
The Sun's declination is zero at the equinoxes, and is +23.5 degrees at the summer solstice (in the northern hemisphere), the longest day, and -23.5 degrees at the winter solstice, the shortest day.
Declination is the Sun's latitude on the celestial sphere, and the declination of any obect is equal to the latitude of a set of points along a line of latitude on the Earth's surface at which it passes overhead.

What is the relationship between a planet's distance fromm the sun and the length of its year?
The farther out, the longer the year.
What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?
Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
At what latitude is the noon sun at zenith?
That may happen - at different times of the year - in any latitude between the tropics - that is, between 23.5 degrees north, and 23.5 degrees south. Note that this angle is precisely the tilt of Earth's axis.
What is the difference in time between the solar year and the lunar year?
A solar year lasts approximately 365.24 days. A lunar year lasts 354.37 days. The difference between the two is 10.87 days, or 10 days, and nearly 21 hours.
How much time does passes between one spring equinox and the next?
There are two equinoxes evry year, in September and March, and a year passes between one vernal equinox and the next (in either hemisphere).
What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its year?
A year is the time it takes to orbit the sun. Therefor the closer you are to the sun the smaller the orbit and the shorter the year
What is the relationship between frequency measured in Hz and angle measured in radians?
First of all, frequency and angle have different physical dimensions. 'Frequency' has a reciprocal time in it ... "per second" ... and angle doesn't. The relationship you really want is the one between frequency and angular frequency ... "revolutions per second" and "radians per second". 1 revolution = 2 pi radians 1 revolution per second = 2 pi radians per second 1 revolution per year = 2 pi radians per year Angular frequency in radians per second = (2 pi) times (plain old frequency in Hz)
Relationship between NGos and the government has been rather complex in the recent year?

What causes the seasons and the changes in day length between summer and winter?
Th earth orbits the sun but not face on, at an angle, this makes the same locations on earth warm or cold depending on the time of year and the angle facing the sun
Can a nine year old and a twelve year old be in a relationship?
No they are too young to be in a relationship and there are 4 years between them, that's going to be a hard thing for their relationship to go through.
When is the sun at an angle?
At all times. The measure of the angle is constantly changing, though. It can be at any angle depending on: the location on Earth, the day of the year, and the time of day.
Is bad for a 17 year old to have an relationship with an 26 year old?
Age of consent is 18. So it is illegal to have a relationship between a 17 year old and a 26 year old.
What is the average length of a relationship between 12-14 year olds?
One or two weeks usually. If the relationship survives that first time, then you can be sure it is forever. Every adult will stick to the choices he made as a kid.

Is a relationship between a 15 year old boy and a 13 year old girl legal in GA?
In Georgia, the age of consent is 16, meaning that anyone under 16 cannot legally consent to any sexual activity. Therefore, a relationship between a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl could potentially involve illegal sexual activity. It is important to be aware of and adhere to the age of consent laws in your state to avoid legal consequences.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
What year did the relationship between Britain and the colonies begin to change dramatically?
1763
