Actually at 23.5 degrees it is never overhead because the Earth's axial tilt is only 23.44 degrees. However, for the purposes of this answer let us round up to 23.5 degrees.
The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5° North of the equator.
The Tropic of Capricorn lies at 23.5° South of the equator.
There is one day each year when the Sun is overhead (90 degrees) at these latitudes. In the North this is at the Summer Solstice in June (around the 21st) each year and in the South it is at the Winter Solstice in December (around the 21st) each year.
What else can I help you with?
When do the Sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees at an angle of 90 degrees?
During the solstice (our summer for north, our winter for south).
When do sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees s at an angle of 90 degrees?
The sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees south, also known as the Tropic of Capricorn, at an angle of 90 degrees during the December solstice, which occurs around December 21st each year. This is when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, resulting in the sun being directly overhead at this latitude.
When do the suns rays strike 23.5 at an angle of Y degrees?
The Sun's rays strike the latitude of 23.5 degrees (the Tropic of Cancer) at a direct angle of 90 degrees during the summer solstice, around June 21. Conversely, at the Tropic of Capricorn, located at -23.5 degrees latitude, the Sun's rays strike directly at 90 degrees during the winter solstice, around December 21. Throughout the equinoxes, around March 21 and September 23, the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the equator, not at 23.5 degrees.
What axis does earth spin on?
23.37 degrees Meaning that the Poles are tilted at 23.37 degrees to the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth.
Does the sun's rays strike the surface most directly at the equator?
Yes, the sun's rays strike the surface most directly at the equator. This is because the equator is situated at 0 degrees latitude, where the sun is overhead at noon during the equinoxes. As you move towards the poles, the angle of the sun's rays becomes more oblique, resulting in less direct sunlight and lower temperatures.
What latitude receives the most direct rays of the sun?
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
If light strikes a body of water at an angle of 55 degrees the angle of reflection will be what?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the degree of the angle reflection is 55 degrees.
On June 21 the vertical rays of the Sun strike a parallel of latitude known as what?
The Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude.
What are light rays that strike a mirror?
Light rays that strike a mirror are reflected according to the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is what allows us to see our reflection in a mirror.
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
What happens to the angle of reflected light rays as the angle of incident light rays becomes steeper?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Therefore, if your angle of incidence is 15 degrees, your angle of reflection equals that also. If it is 45 degrees, your angle of reflection is also 45 degrees, and so on.
Angle between incident and reflected rays is 60. what is the value of angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, if the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 60 degrees, the angle of incidence is also 60 degrees.
