∙ 14y agoThat depends on your latitude and the date. In the Northern hemisphere temperate zone (between 23.5 degrees north and 66.5 degrees north) the Sun sets in the northwest. The higher the latitude and the closer you get to the Summer Solstice June 21, the farther north it sets.
From Florida or Arizona, the Sun sets a little north of west. From southern Canada or the northern tier of US States, the Sun sets a little bit west of north.

∙ 10y agoOn June 21st the noon Sun is overhead over the Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2 degrees North Latitude). If the noon Sun on that day is 79.5 degrees above the south horizon the Latitude of the place concerned is (79.5 - 23.5 = 56) 56 degrees North.
Different Answer:
The sun is 10.5 degrees from the zenith position (sun overhead at 23.5 degrees north) so 23.5 + 10.5 = 34 degrees north.

∙ 13y agoIf the sun's highest elevation in the sky, around Noon on June 21, is 43 degrees
above the northern horizon, then you are standing somewhere on the Tropic of
Capricorn ... at 23.5 degrees south latitude.
Possible locations:
Antofagasta, Chile
Concepcion, Paraguay
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Kang, Botswana
Inhambane, Mozambique
Toliara, Madagascar
Alice Springs, Australia

∙ 11y agoI'd be very surprised if you didn't mean December 21, but I'll play the hand
as you dealt it.
The sun's declination on January 21 is about 19.75° South. If your latitude
were 19.75° South, then the noon sun would be at your zenith. But it's 76°
lower than that, so your latitude is 76° degrees north or south of 19.75° south.
You're observing the sun from 56.25° North latitude ... like in the neighborhoods
of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, northern Lithuania, southern Latvia, northern
Belarus, Moscow, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, and the lower Alaska panhandle.

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 suns altitude at noon at the equator on june21?
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
What date does the North Pole have a higher noon sun angle than New York city on what date?
The sun can never be higher in the sky at the north pole than it is in the sky at New York City. The highest solar noon elevation at the north pole is 23.5 degrees, on June 21. On the same date, the solar noon elevation in Manhattan's Central Park is about 73 degrees.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
noon
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 sun's altitude noon time sun on June 21 on 41 degress north?
72.5 degrees
What are the angle of the sunś rays in summer for latittude 50?
On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.
How does the altitude of the solar noon change from December 21 to June 21?
47 degrees.
How much higher is the sun at noon compared to midnight at latitude 80 degrees north - on days where the sun never sets?
First, we need the "transit altitude" of the celestial equator, at 80 degrees north. That's 90 - 80 degrees = 10 degrees. At noon (local apparent noon) the Sun's altitude will be: 10 degrees + the Sun's declination. That's the altitude of the Sun's "upper culmination". At "midnight" (the Sun's "lower culmination") the Sun's altitude will be: the Sun's declination - 10 degrees. So, the difference in altitude is 20 degrees. The Sun is 20 degrees higher at noon.

What is the suns altitude at noon at the equator on june21?
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
What date does the North Pole have a higher noon sun angle than New York city on what date?
The sun can never be higher in the sky at the north pole than it is in the sky at New York City. The highest solar noon elevation at the north pole is 23.5 degrees, on June 21. On the same date, the solar noon elevation in Manhattan's Central Park is about 73 degrees.
Is the sun overhead at noon at 42 degrees north?
The sun is never overhead at 42 degrees north.
Where would you be standing on June 21 if the sun was directly over head at noon?
You might be anywhere along the Tropic of Cancer, where the latitude is 23.44 degrees north.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
noon
From latitude 35 what is the highest altitude above the noon sun?
For an observer at latitude 35 degrees, the highest the sun can ever be in his sky is roughly 31.5 degrees above the horizon.
Is the sun ever directly over Ashland Missouri?
No. Ashland, MO is at 38 degrees, 47 minutes North Latitude, 92 degrees 15 minutes West longitude. The Tropic of Cancer currently lies 23° 26′ 22″ north of the Equator; this line notes the maximum declination of the Sun. So at Noon on the Summer Solstice, the Sun is at 74 degrees 21 minutes altitude. The Altitude Angle is calculated as 90 degrees + Declination - Latitude. So at its maximum elevation, the Sun is 15 degrees away (South) from being straight up.
