When does the sun set 23.5 degrees lower than the celestial equator?

The sun's maximum excursion south ... roughly 23.5 degrees ... is the point in the sky called the "Winter solstice". The moment when the sun is at that point marks the beginning of Winter in the northern hemisphere. In 2009, that'll be at approx. 1800 GMT on December 21. (I'm not sure but I think the calendar date can vary a day either way from December 21 ... because of the calendar, not the sun.)

The US Naval Observatory's web site has a list of the precise times of the summer solstices for each year.

Which line is closer to the equator 30N or 15S?
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
Is Chicago closer to the equator than Denver?
The Equator. Chicago is located at 42 degrees north, the Equator is degrees, and the North Pole is 90 degrees north. Therefore, Chicago is closer to the Equator than the North Pole.
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
How many degrees from 60 degrees north is the Equator?
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
What is lower -12 degrees Celsius or -10 degrees Celsius?
-12 degrees C is lower than -10 degrees C
What is closer to the equator 64 degrees north latitude 76 degrees west longitude or 22 degrees south latitude 88 degrees west longitude?
The second one, 22°S 88°W, is closer to the equator than 64°N 76°W The lower latitudes are closer to the equator. (0° latitude)

Is ninety degrees north closer to the equator than forty degrees south?
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.
How many degrees from 60 degrees north is the Equator?
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
What temperature is 15 degrees lower than seven degrees celcius?
265.15 degrees Kelvin is 15 degrees Celsius lower than seven degrees Celsius.
Is a person closer to the equator in Argentina or southern Spain?
People in most of Argentina are closer to the equator than people in southern Spain. Spain is between 37 and 43 degrees north of the equator. Only 20% of Argentina is more than 37 degrees south of the equator.
Is 80 degrees north closer to the equator than is 40 degrees south?
No, 80 degrees N is not closer to the equator than 40 degrees SNo. 40 North is the same distance as 40 South, so 80 North is much further.
What is lower -12 degrees Celsius or -10 degrees Celsius?
-12 degrees C is lower than -10 degrees C
What temperature is 20 degrees lower than nine degrees Celsius?
-3 degrees Celsius, or 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit
