Explanation:

  • We have to find the Sun's altitude on this day, which we can find by using a formula:

  • Altitude = 90° - Latitude +/- Declination
  • (Here we are given with three dates which are equinox and two solstices, so we have to use the formula accordingly).

Let's start solving....

(1) 21st March:

  • This is the day of an equinox which have the equal duration of day and night in the northern hemisphere. Also, the declination will be 0 on this day.

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 90° - 66.5°

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 23°

(2) 21st June:

  • This is the day of summer solstice which have the lengthier duration of day than night in the northern hemisphere. Also, the declination will be + on this day.

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 90° - 66.5° + 23.5°

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 47°

(3) 22nd December:

  • This is the day of winter solstice which have the lengthier duration of day than night in the Southern hemisphere. Also, the declination will be - on this day.

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 90° - 66.5° - 23.5°

  • ⇛ Altitude of sun = 90° - 90°

⇛ Altitude of sun = 0°
