The ambiguous "sun angle" is not defined. But that's not an immediate problem,
because no latitudes are listed.
On April 11, the sun's declination is in the neighborhood of +82/3°, so, at zero latitude,
its elevation at noon is around 811/3°, in the north.
If you are at the equator, the SUN will be directly overhead during the equinoxes - around 21 March, and 23 September.
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
September 21 is the autumnal equinox, where the sun is directly overhead at the equator. Places along the equator, such as Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia, are most likely to experience the sun directly overhead on this date.
In the tropics. The sun is straight overhead at some time or other, between the tropic of Cancer, in the north and the tropic of Capricorn. During the equinoxes (vernal and autumnal), the sun is directly overhead at the equator.
The sun is most directly overhead near the equator. This happens during the equinoxes where the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in near-vertical rays at noon.
Nowhere on earth.
The equator. The sun appears directly overhead. the earth year is 365days
The equator. The sun appears directly overhead. the earth year is 365days
Antarctica would never have the sun directly overhead at any time during the year due to its location near the South Pole. The tilt of Earth's axis ensures that the sun never reaches directly overhead in this region.
Not always. The sun is directly overhead at the equator at the spring and fall equinoxes.
the sun is strongest (directly overhead) at around 12-1 o'clockDifferent Answer:The sun doesn't reach the zenith (is NEVERdirectly overhead) when viewed from Connecticut because of Connecticut's latitude and the tilt of the Earth. The reason why the sun is not always directly over the equator is due to Earth's axial tilt, which allows it to be seen directly overhead up to 23.5 degrees north or south. Connecticut is around 42 degrees north, so the sun will always be towards the south at noon, even on June 21st.
It's dark or the sun is directly overhead.
If you are at the equator, the SUN will be directly overhead during the equinoxes - around 21 March, and 23 September.
When the Sun is directly overhead (at zenith) the point below it is called nadir.
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude (23.5 o N) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Summer Solstice. The Tropic of Capricorn is a line of latitude (23.5 o S) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Winter Solstice.
That would be true of latitudes in the range of roughly 23.5° to 29° both north and south.
