WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.
The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.

Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 34 m long?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
At a certain distance the angle of elevation to the top of a building is 60 From 40ft further back the angle of elevation is 45 Find the height of the building?
Angle of elevation: tangent angle = opposite/adjacent and by rearranging the given formula will help to solve the problem
what is the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 32.4 m long?
If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 53 degrees when a flagpole casts a shadow of 12 m then the height of the flagpole is?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
What is the elevation of terlingua tx?
average elevation is 2933ft.
Is weather is created from the sun?
Weather is created from The Sun, The Oceans, The Wind, and your elevation.
Why are the clouds pink?
because of elevation and the sun's reflection
Why does the elevation of the sun change from winter to summer?
The earth is tilted 23 degrees in the orbit plane. This results of lower elevation in the winter and greater elevation in the summer.
What makes up stars?
Elevation Gases That Escape from the sun
Sentence with elevation?
Find the elevation and latitude/longitude of any address.
How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
What is the name given to the sun's position at noon?
At noon the Sun is at its "zenith". The highest elevation it will reach that day.
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 34 m long?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
How does latitude influences climate?
Closer to the equator you are, the hotter it'll be.
Is the sun lower or higher in the sky during winter?
The sun reaches its highest elevation at the moment that summer begins.
The top of a billboard is 40 feet above the ground What is the angle of elevation of the sun when the billboard casts a 30 foot shadow on level ground?
tan-1(40/30) = 53.13° Therefore, the sun is at a 53.13° angle of elevation.
How do you find out if two points have equal elevation?
The best way to find out if 2 points have equal elevation is to measure them. You must measure each of these points.
