The Suns path viewed from the equator when is its highest point in the sky?

When viewed from the equator, the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky at solar noon, which occurs when it is directly overhead at 90 degrees. This happens during the equinoxes, around March 21 and September 23, when the Sun is directly above the equator. During these times, the Sun's altitude is maximized, resulting in the shortest shadows.


Is the weather warm or cold near the equator and why?

Because the suns rays are striking the earth and it is striking mostly the middle, (equator). It is hot. <--- That was suppose to be at the start lawll.


Which region always receives the suns most direct rays?

The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.


Where do the suns rays hit on June 21?

The sun's rays hit 50% of the Earth continuously ... 24/7/365. They can only hit perpendicular ... straight down ... on places that are within about 23.5 degrees of the equator, north and south. That's the only region on Earth where the sun can ever be directly over your head. That whole "belt" around the Earth's middle is called the "Tropics". On June 21, the sun is as far north as it can get, appearing directly overhead for people at 23.5 degrees north of the equator, whenever it happens to be Noon where each of them is.


If your latitude is 55 degrees what is the suns angle in June?

Viewed from latitude 55° north, the sun's highest altitude on June 21 is31.5° down from the zenith, or 58.5° up from the horizon.

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.
