What is the sun's altitude noon time sun on June 21 on 41 degress north?
At noon on June 21st at 41 degrees north latitude, the sun's altitude would be at its highest point of the day, which would be approximately 68.5 degrees above the horizon. This is the highest altitude the sun will reach in the sky during the summer solstice at this latitude.
What is the altitude ofthe noon sun on December 21?
That completely depends on your latitude ... where you are on earth north or south relative to the equator. -- If your latitude is 23.5° south ... on the Tropic of Capricorn ... the noon sun is directly overhead on December 21. -- If you are more than 23.5° south of the equator, then the noon sun is (113.5° - your south latitude) above the northern horizon. -- If you are between the equator and 23.5° south latitude, the noon sun is (66.5° + your south latitude) above the southern horizon. -- If you are north of the equator, the noon sun is (66.5° - your north latitude) above the southern horizon. Notice that this means that anywhere north of 66.5° north latitude ... the Arctic Circle ... the sun doesn't rise at all on that day, even at noon.
How many degrees is the sun above the horizon in the winter?
That depends on the latitude from which you are observing Polaris.At the Equator (0 latitude) Polaris will be tangential to the northern horizon (0 degrees of altitude)At 52 degrees north the altitude of Polaris will be 52 degreesTherefore At the North Pole (90 latitude) Polaris will be overhead (90 degrees of altitude).
Which month will your shadow be smallest at noon?
both september and march because they both contain equinoxes which is when the sun is at the highest altitude
What would be the noon-time altitude of the sun in Champaign Illinois on the Autumnel equinox be if the earths tilt was at 40 degrees?
At the autumnal equinox, the Sun is directly over the equator, so the Earth's axial tilt would be an irrelevant data point. Champaign-Urbana, IL is at 40 degrees 7 minutes north latitude, so the "local apparent noon" elevation of the Sun would be 49 degrees 53 minutes. If you were asking this question about the summer solstice, then the Earth's axial tilt would become relevant. If this was 40 degrees, then the Sun would be essentially directly overhead at noon.
What is the sun's altitude noon time sun on June 21 on 41 degress north?
At noon on June 21st at 41 degrees north latitude, the sun's altitude would be at its highest point of the day, which would be approximately 68.5 degrees above the horizon. This is the highest altitude the sun will reach in the sky during the summer solstice at this latitude.
What is the suns altitude?
The sun's altitude refers to its angle above the horizon, measured in degrees. This angle varies throughout the day and changes with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. At solar noon, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for that day, which is when its altitude is at its maximum. The altitude can be calculated using the observer's latitude, the date, and the time of day.
Is the sun particularly high in the sky at noon if it lies 63 degrees above the observer's horizon?
It is not particularly high but it may be the highest that it can get - depending on the observer's latitude.
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 will be the altitude of the sun on 21june at twenty three and half degree?
On June 21, during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. At 23.5 degrees latitude, the sun's altitude at solar noon will be approximately 90 degrees (directly overhead) minus the latitude, which results in an altitude of about 66.5 degrees. This means the sun will be significantly high in the sky, providing long daylight hours and intense sunlight.
How many degrees is the sun above the horizon in the winter?

What is altitude of sun below the horizon at noon on equinoxes and solstices?
The eastern horizon. Note: The sun does not rise due east, and the specific location changes throughout the year. The furthest south (on the eastern horizon) the sun rises is at the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere), and vice versa.
What is the altitude angle of the Sun for someone in Anchorage Alaska (61N) on June 21?
On June 21, the summer solstice, the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky for locations in the Northern Hemisphere. In Anchorage, Alaska (61°N), the altitude angle of the Sun at noon can reach approximately 22 degrees above the horizon. This is because the Sun's declination is about +23.5 degrees on this date, and considering Anchorage's latitude, the angle can be calculated as 23.5° - 61° = -37.5°; thus, the Sun will be above the horizon at a low angle.
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.
