1. You are located at 60°N. a) What is the solar angle at noon on the equinox. b) what is the solar angle at noon on the summer solstice. c) what is the solar angle at noon on the winter solstice.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Zenith Angle = latitude where you are at ± subsolar point

If the subsolar point and your latitude are in the same hemisphere, subtract.

If the subsolar point and your latitude are in different hemispheres, add.

Note: if you get a negative number, it means that no sunlight is received at that time of year… or it is

dark for 24 hours, use 0o

as your answer.
