About solar angle
HW:
1- Calculate the solar time for the city of Baghdad located at longitude 44.14° east at
9:00 am of March 21, then calculate the hour of sunrise and sunset and the length of
the day, knowing that the latitude of Baghdad is 33.20° north?
2- a- Calculate the altitude angle (a) and the azimuth angle (z) at 3 pm in the solar time
for the city of Kirkuk on June 21, noting that the latitude of Kirkuk is 35.33° north.
b- Find the maximum altitude angle.
c- The hour of sunrise and sunset and the length of the day.
d- Azimuth (z) at sunrise and sunset.
3- Calculate the minimum and highest altitude angle of the sun for the city of Mosul,
which is located at a latitude of 36°.
Note: At the highest angle of altitude, the value of (6) = 23.45 + on June 21.
The lowest value is when (6) = -23.45 on December 21.
4- Calculate the intensity of solar radiation falling on a solar cell in the city of Basra, tilted
at an angle of 20° from the horizon, and faces south at 10:00 am on August 27, 2004
(leap year) at a latitude of 30° degrees north. Gan=881.312 W/m².
