On 21st June, the angle of inclination of the midday Sun was observed as 72 degree at station R. The Sun was seen in the southern sky. Find out its latitude

Answer 1

If we were to measure the altitude and the bearing of the Sun at our position on the Earth’s surface, we would find that the maximum altitude during the course of a day occurs at noon when the Sun lies directly over our meridian of longitude and therefore bears north or south. We can use this fact to calculate our latitude
