At the Equator, the sun rises at about 6am every day of the year.

In the far north of Canada, the sun rises earlier than that in the winter, and later than that in the summer.


So in summer, the sun rises later nearer to the equator. And in winter, the sun rises earlier nearer to the equator.

What is the furthest point south where the sun never gets exactly overhead at noon?

The furthest point south where the sun never gets exactly overhead at noon is the Antarctic Circle, which is about 66.5 degrees south latitude. This means that during the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun will still be lower in the sky at noon for locations south of the Antarctic Circle.


Where is the sun at noon?

At noon, the Sun would cross the meridian, wherever you live.September is close to an equinox; if you live at the Equator, the Sun would be at the zenith. For every degree further north that you live, the Sun would be a degree south of the zenith. For example, if you live at 50 degrees latitude North, the Sun would be 40 degrees above the horizon (towards the South) i.e., 50 degrees from the zenit.


The sun rises in the east on your right you face north?

If the sun is rising on your right side, then you are facing south. The east is to your right when you are facing south, which means north will be to your left.


At noon is the sun in the north?

Well, if you are in the southern hemisphere the sun will be going across the northern sky and if you are in the northern it will go across the southern. Depending on where you are you will know if the sun is in the north sky.


Where will be the sun at noon?

The sun will be directly overhead at noon for locations along the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude) on the June solstice and locations along the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south latitude) on the December solstice. In between those latitudes, the sun will be high in the sky but not directly overhead at noon.

Does the location of the sunset point correlate with how high the sun is in the sky at noon?

Yes, to an extent. In the northern hemisphere summer, the Sun rises somewhat north of east, and the Sun will be higher in the sky at noon. (In the southern hemisphere summers, the Sun rises SOUTH of east and is higher at noon.)In the winter, the sun rises south of east (north of east for the southern hemisphere) and is lower in the sky at noon.

How can you use the position of the sun to figure out the direction you are looking?

Real basic...the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. If you face the morning sun your left hand points north, your right hand points south and your back it to the west. If you are facing the afternoon sun your right hand points north, your left to the south and your back is to the east. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Before solar noon if you are heading towards the sun you are heading east and away from is west. If you know your compass points you can figure north and south off of your other positions. The opposite is true after solar noon. If you are heading towards the sun you are then heading west.


The sun rises in the east on your right you face north?

If the sun is rising on your right side, then you are facing south. The east is to your right when you are facing south, which means north will be to your left.
