At 11 am on January 13 If the length of the shadow is 2 m and 44 cm what is the Suns zenith angle?

The angle of the sun can be worked out through trigonometry, but first you will need the height of the object that is causing the shadow, since a taller object will make a longer shadow.
Tan a = H/2.44 Where a is the angle and H is the height of the object.
And the date is not relevant.

How is the altitude angle and zenith angle related to latitude and declination?
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
How can you calculate height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow?
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
What is the definition of shadow angle?
the angle at which a shadow is formed
How tall is a bird bath that casts a 9 foot shadow?
That is an impossible question it could be any size the length of the shadow is dictated by the angle if the light source.
What is 45 degrees of the sun?
A 45 degree sun angle indicates that the sun is halfway between the horizon and directly overhead (known as the zenith). Such an angle causes the length of an object's shadow to be equal to the object's height.
How many pages does The Zenith Angle have?

How is the altitude angle and zenith angle related to latitude and declination?
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
How long is the shadow for the 74ft pole?
It depends on the angle of the sun. If the sun is at 90 degrees, immediately overhead, then the length of the shadow is 0. What is the angle of the sun?
what causes shadow length?
The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
How can you calculate height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow?
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.

If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
Do all shadows look the same?
The length of your shadow depends on the angle on the Sun.If it is noon your shadow will be shorter than if It was at 3pm or 9am for at those times your shadow Will be longer.
How does the length of your shadow change in the day?
It will Lengthen and shorten during the day, as the angle of the sun changes
What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
