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.

Depending on where you are either the sun won't rise at all (if you are far enough north) to noon when it sets again (not quite as far north) to late afternoon to mid morning to early morning to just past midnight (progressively further south) to it won't rise at all because it is up all the time and will be for weeks (far enough south).
So to answer your question I would have to know where you are and what clock you are using!

What is the sun's altitude noon time sun on June 21 on 41 degress north?
72.5 degrees
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
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.
When are shadows shortest?
Shadows are shortest at noon, when the Sun is overhead.
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky winter at noon or spring at noon?
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
How does altitude of the solar noon sun change from December 21 to June 21?
the tilt goes towards the sun, the seasons chang from winter to summer
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.
Is the changing altitude of the noon sun due to revolution or rotation?
Both

How does the altitude of the sun at solar noon appear to change each day for an observer at New York state?
the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
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 day of the year does the sun reach the greatest altitude at solar noon in New York City?
i donnt knowww
What are the two dates in which the angles of the sunlight on the earth are the most extreme?
-The two extremes of angles are on June 21st where the sun is at its highest noon and on December 21st where the sun is at its lowest noon.
Which day would you expect the sun to be lowest in the sky?
For anyone in the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on December 21.For anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on June 21.For anyone on the Equator, the sun is lowest in the sky on both of those occasions.(Of course, we're talking about its altitude at Noon, not at sunrise and sunset.)
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.
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.
