Chapter 13.4, Problem 6A
Summary Introduction
The yearly average noon Sun angle and the range of the noon Sun angle.
Introduction:
The amount of heat energy received at any location is a direct effect of Sun angle. The angle varies by location, time and season due to Earth’s orbit around the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
