Calculating Noon Sun Angle

Tutorial on how to calculate the noon sun angle at a given latitude on a given date

Thank you. Your explanation is much easier to understand than the one in my College Course book.

Marcos my man, you are a stress reliever and a life saver. Thank you so much

Thanks Marcos Luna! After some thinking, I figured it out. It's simple
where I live, at 46 degrees. Winter solstice is about 20 and Summer
solstice about 70. I was trying to figure it out for installing the
angle of my solar panels on the house. I'll probably just go with 45
degrees. Cheers!

Thanks for the insight, This is just what I need to get my head around so I can write a solar tilt program to calculate the proper angle for my RV's solar setup. Going to use a small GPS module, an Arduino Microprocessor and a display...

Thank you so much! I have an Earth Science test and this was really helpful

thank you very much I teach Geography and this has clarified one aspect before I teach this topic tomorrow. I didn't know what to do when the latitude of the place is smaller than the overhead Sun yet in the Same hemisphere, so all you need to do is find the distance in between. thanks so much.

thanks finally i figured it out it turns out that the internet doesn't even have a good explanation on this topic i was trying to find a simple explanation cheers

This is valuable! I was working outside on some remote land in central Florida (around 27.2, -81.2) this summer (July, July, August). It was painfully hot, so much so I would have to hide between 11am and 4pm and waited for afternoon rains a just started to work from 4pm to 9pm instead. I need to go back down again in early December. How much better will it be? i know we talk about temperature, but it's not just about temperature is it? The sun hurts.

Listen, you saved my life with this detailed, well-explained tutorial. Xxx

Midday sun angle formula for Northern midlatitudes (23.4-66.6°N):

Y = 23.4 sin θ + 90° - L
where θ is the seasonal longitude of the sun (0° = March equinox) and L is your latitude.

Thank you Marcos, I'm better prepared for my test later today

[acaciamoore]

thank you so much!!! my professor could not explain this, so that i understood!

North pole during the winter solstice negative 23 degrees?

[BackpackerCoach]

Is there a way to figure out if the noon sun angle is ever the same angle at two different locations? Like 39.92 and 8.81? Trying to figure out if the sun will ever be the same angle at 8.81 on April 1st to what time of year would 39.92 be same angle? If ever? Sorry I am not a math guy I am a artist guy.

Great video, Marcos. Is it possible to find your latitude with just a sextant? No other stars, no almanacs, no other tools, zero info about where you are, just a sextant?

[BigBoy]

Thank you so much. this was very helpful!!

Should we not see the sun at 90 degrees to earth all the time at some point on earth and be able to track it 24 hrs a day and make predictions. If I am missing something here, please illuminate me.

[KindaTiredd]

Thanks this was very helpful, i was sick so i missed this lesson in school, lol could have done bad on the lab

[jazla]

I find it funny how you use the north and south magnetic poles as the Earths spinning axis..lol
