| Determine the height of the midday sun on the days of the equinox and solstice in the following cities: Moscow, Madrid, Oslo, Paris, Delhi, Beijing.
Let’s calculate the case of Delhi for example. Find the latitude of Delhi: + 28.6 °
On the days of the equinox, the height of the midday sun = 90 ° -28.6 ° = 61.4 °
On the days of the winter equinox 61.4 ° – 23.4 ° = 38.0 ° above the horizon
On the days of the summer equinox 61.4 ° + 23.4 ° = 84.8 °
