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?
On June 21st, the summer solstice, the noon sun angle in Tampa, Florida, is approximately 90 degrees. This is because Tampa is situated at a latitude of about 27.9 degrees north, and during the solstice, the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north). Therefore, the noon sun angle can be calculated by subtracting Tampa's latitude from the sun's declination on that date, resulting in an angle close to 90 degrees.
The angle between the horizon and the sun at its highest point on June 21 in NYC would be approximately 72 degrees. This is because on the summer solstice, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, which corresponds to an angle of about 72 degrees above the horizon in NYC.
On March 21, which is the vernal equinox, the sun is positioned directly above the equator. At a latitude of 23.5 degrees south, the noon sun will be at an angle of 90 degrees minus the latitude, resulting in an angle of 66.5 degrees above the horizon. This means the sun will be relatively high in the sky at noon, illuminating the area directly below it.
It is 58.4 degrees.
On December 22nd, which is the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn, located at 23.5 degrees south latitude. For a person standing at 30.5 degrees south latitude, the zenith angle can be calculated by subtracting their latitude from the sun's declination. The sun's declination on this date is -23.5 degrees, so the zenith angle would be 30.5 degrees - (-23.5 degrees), resulting in a zenith angle of 30.5 + 23.5 = 54 degrees.
The sun would be at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizon on the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year. At 29 degrees north latitude, this would be the highest angle the sun reaches in the sky.
60 degrees
About 17 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.
It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression) At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft
