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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How does the position of the sun effect your shadow?
The position of the sun affects the length and direction of your shadow. When the sun is directly overhead (at its zenith), your shadow will be shortest and directly beneath you. As the sun moves lower in the sky, your shadow will lengthen and shift in direction depending on the angle of the sunlight.
How many pages does The Zenith Angle have?
The Zenith Angle has 341 pages.
When was The Zenith Angle created?
The Zenith Angle was created in 2004-05.
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?
The tallest free-standing structure in the world is the 553 meter high CN Tower in Toronto What will be the length of the shaddow of the tower on a day that the angle of 50?
To find the length of the shadow of the CN Tower when the angle of elevation is 50 degrees, you can use the tangent function. The formula is: shadow length = height / tan(angle). Thus, the shadow length would be approximately 553 meters / tan(50°), which is about 553 meters / 1.1918, resulting in a shadow length of approximately 464 meters.
What three things do length and position of a shadow changing depend on?
The length and position of a shadow depend on the angle of the light source, the distance between the object and the surface the shadow falls on, and the height of the object casting the shadow.
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 causes shadow length?
The length of a shadow is primarily determined by the angle of the sun in relation to the object casting the shadow. Shadows are longer in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky, and shorter at midday when the sun is directly overhead. The size and shape of the object casting the shadow also play a role in determining shadow length.
Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
Why does the length and position of my shadow changes as I walk towards and away from the lamp post?
The length and position of your shadow change as you walk towards or away from a lamp post because the angle of the light hitting you changes. When you are closer to the lamp post, the angle of the light hitting you is more direct, resulting in a longer shadow. As you move away, the angle becomes more oblique, shortening the shadow.
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
