Question

Use Figure 2.A and the analemma used in previous Question to
calculate the noon Sun angle at your location (latitude) on the
following dates:
a. September 7
b. July 5
c. January 1

Data:
Sun's rays
Location: 40° N
262°
Location: 40° N
Date: December 22
Tropic of Cancer (23½' N)
Location of 90° Sun: 23½° S
632°
Calculations:
-Equator (0°) -
Sun's rays
Step 1:
- Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S)
Distance in degrees between
232° S and 40° N = 632°
90
Step 2:
90
-63%°
Noon Sun angle at 40° N
on December 22
262° =
