Question

Refer to Figure 2.A in Box 2.1 and calculate the noon Sun
angle on June 21 and December 21 at 50° north latitude, 0°
latitude (the equator), and 20° south latitude. Which of these
latitudes has the greatest variation in noon Sun angle between
summer and winter? 

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:
