the sun is strongest (directly overhead) at around 12-1 o'clock
Different 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.
Not always. The sun is directly overhead at the equator at the spring and fall equinoxes.
The sun is never directly overhead in Levittown, NY, as it lies above the Tropic of Cancer.
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.
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.
When the sun appears directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, it is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, when the sun appears directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn, it is the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
It never is overhead at noon because Texas is not in the northernmost point where the sun passes directly overhead at noon.
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.
No.
The sun is at its peak at noon, when it is directly overhead.
The sun is directly overhead at the summer solstice at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5oN). This is as the most northernly latitude which has the sun directly overhead at any time of the year. A similar case happen at the winter solstice at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5oS).
