How many degrees did the angle of noon?
Noon is when the sun is overhead or at its zenith for whichever part of the world you are on. The angle would depend on the time of year and your latitude.
What is the vertical angle at solar noon?
33 degrees perpendicular to the horizon
What is the exact measure of the angle formed by the hands of a clock at 320?
On a non-military clock (civil, 12-hour) . . .-- The hour-hand is moving 360 degrees in 12 hours = 30 degrees per hour.3:20 is 31/3 hours past noon, so the hour-hand has moved 10/3 x 30 = 100 degrees.-- The minute-hand is moving 360 degrees per hour. So it starts at zero at thebeginning of each hour, and after 1/3 of the hour, it has moved 360/3 = 120 degrees.-- The angle between them at 3:20 is [ 120 - 100 ] = 20 degrees.
What is the integer that represent the temperature dropped 17 degrees between noon and midnight?
-17.
The number of degrees that the hour hand of a clock moves through between noon and 2.30 in the afternoon of the same day is?
we need to find angle between 12 and 2 30 angle traced by hr hand in 1 hr=360/12=30 difference btw time from 12 00 to 2 30 is 2.5 hours angle traced by hr hand in 2.5 hrs=60+15=75 :):):)

What is angle of the noon sun at latitude 35 degrees N on Dec 212017?
It is 58.4 degrees.
How many degrees north or south of the equator at noon for the March Equinox?
At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
At what angle does the sun's rays hit the earth on dec 21 sept 23 June 21 and March 21 in Buffalo NY?
In fact, the Sun's rays strike Buffalo, NY at various angles as the Sun rises on the eastern horizon, crosses to the South, and then sets in the west. The only angle that we're really interested in is the "local apparent noon", or "Sun transit" angle. Buffalo is a large city, and the angle will be different on the north edge or the south edge. Niagara Square, pretty close to the city center, is at latitude 42.88 degrees north. Consulting the Nautical Almanac Online for 2011, I see that the declination of the Sun as it passes Buffalo on March 21, 2011 will be 0 degrees 16 minutes north, or 0.27 degrees. On June 21, 23 degrees 26 minutes north, or 23.38 degrees. On September 21, the Sun will be at declination 0 degrees 39 minutes North, or 0.65, and on December 21, 23 degrees 26 minutes SOUTH, or 23.36. So, on March 21, the "local apparent noon" Sun elevation angle above the southern horizon will be 90 minus Buffalo's latitude of 42.88 degrees PLUS the declination of 0.27 degrees, or 47.39 degrees On June 21, the Sun's maximum elevation will be 90 minus 42.88 PLUS 23.38, or 70.5 degrees. I'll let you calculate the other two, remembering to subtract the declination when it is south.
What latitude for Arnold is the sun directly overhead at noon on the equinox and solstice?
There is no latitude on earth at which the sun would be directly overhead at noon on the equinox and the solstice.
On march 4th 1873 the morning temperature was -2 degrees farhenhiet by noon it was warmer how many degrees had the temperature risen?

How do you know that The Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees?
Measure the angle from the true horizon to the midday Sun on the dates of the vernal and atumnal equinoxes and on the dates of the solstices. The angle between the the solstice noon Sun and an equinox midday Sun will be 23,5 degrees.
What time is the sun's angle 63.9?
We can't figure that out from the information provided. The only thing we can say for certain is that your latitude is no greater than 40.4 degrees north or south. If that's your latitude, then this can only happen at Local Apparent Noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
Where do the Suns rays hit Earths surface nearly at right angles?
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
What are the angle of the sunś rays in summer for latittude 50?
On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.
How does insolation change with increasing latitude?
Insolation is the amount of the Sun's energy reaching a unit surface area on Earth (for example energy per square metre). Insolation is reduced with increasing latitude, because of the angle at which the Sun's rays hit the surface. The changing angle at which the energy hits the surface means that the energy is spread over a larger area with increasing latitude, North or South. That's the main reason the poles are cold and the equator is hot. In the hemisphere where it's summer, the effect is not so extreme because of the Earth's axial tilt ("towards" the Sun, in that hemisphere). In the winter time at high latitudes the effect is very significant because the Earth is then "tilted away" from the Sun, in that hemisphere.
