The Earth’s north pole has a latitude of 90 o, causing the plumb line to align with the world axis and the equator to align with the horizon. Consequently, the Sun traces circles on the celestial sphere that are approximately parallel to the horizon throughout the year, at an altitude equivalent to the Sun’s declination on each specific day (Fig. 14). Without the presence of refraction, the Sun would circle the horizon on March 21, with the Sun’s center positioned on the mathematical horizon. However, due to refraction, this phenomenon occurs a few days earlier. As the days progress, the Sun gradually increases its elevation above the horizon, reaching its maximum height on June 22. Subsequently, the Sun’s altitude begins to decrease, and around September 23 (now slightly delayed due to refraction), the Sun once again aligns with the horizon. In the subsequent days, the Sun remains below the horizon and does not reappear until close to the day of the vernal equinox. Consequently, the Sun remains above the horizon for slightly over half the year (polar day), while for the remaining time it remains below the horizon (polar night). The same pattern is observed at the south pole, except that the polar day and polar night exchange positions. In other words, when it is polar day at the north pole, it is polar night at the south pole, and vice versa.
Polar days and nights occur not only at the poles, but also at other latitudes that are quite high, although their duration is shorter. The theoretical boundaries for these phenomena are known as the Arctic Circle and the southern polar circle. If we imagine the Sun as a point with no atmospheric refraction, then at these latitudes the Sun would not set below the horizon during the day and would not rise above the horizon during the night, once a year. However, due to the effects of refraction and the Sun’s finite size, polar days occur at latitudes up to [insert latitude] and polar nights only occur up to [insert latitude]. To determine the beginning and end of polar day, we look for the date when the observed height of the Sun’s upper edge at the moment of lower culmination is zero. For the beginning and end of polar night, we look for the date when the observed altitude of the Sun’s upper edge at the moment of upper culmination is zero.
7.2 The Sun’s daily movement at the equator.
The equator has a latitude of zero, and the world’s axis runs through it in the horizontal plane, causing the north pole to align with the northern point and the south pole to align with the southern point (Figure 15). The lines of latitude are perpendicular to the horizon, and the equator passes directly through the zenith (t.Q coincides with t.Z). Consequently, on March 21, the Sun is located at the equator and reaches its highest point at the zenith. In the subsequent days, the Sun’s declination increases, causing it to reach lower altitudes north of the zenith. The Sun’s lowest altitude during its upper culmination north of the zenith occurs on June 22. From this point on, the Sun’s maximum altitude begins to increase again, and on September 23, it once again reaches its zenith. The Sun’s declination continues to decrease, causing it to reach lower altitudes each day, now south of the zenith. The minimum altitude during its upper culmination south of the zenith occurs on the day of the winter solstice, December 22. After this, the Sun’s altitude during culmination begins to increase once more.
26. Find out the length of the polar day in Murmansk.
1) On the day when the polar day starts (and ends), at the time when the Sun is at its lowest point, its upper edge should be on the horizon at hmincc=0 o 0′, which means that the declination of the Sun on this day is equal to:
2) On which days of the year is the declination of the Sun equal to this value? It is clear that it is somewhere around June 22, one date is the beginning of the polar day before June 22 and the other is the end of the polar day after June 22. The middle of the polar day falls on June 22.
3) Calculate the change in the Sun’s declination from this date to June 22.
4) How many days will it take for the Sun’s declination to change by this amount near the solstice? During the 30 days around June 22, the Sun’s declination changes by 0.1° per day. In this case, the declination change is greater, so the Sun’s declination has been changing at a rate of 0.3° per day for some time. Therefore, the Sun traveled a distance of 0.25° at this speed in one day. Hence, the polar day in Murmansk started 31 days before June 22 (May 22) and ended 31 days after June 22 (July 23). The total duration of the polar day in Murmansk was 62 days.
27. Determine the duration of the polar night in Murmansk ( ).
1) At the moment when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky on the day of the start (and end) of the polar night, its upper edge should be seen on the horizon at an angle of hmaxwk=0 o 0'.
Therefore, the Sun’s declination on this day is equal to:
2) On which days of the year does the Sun have this declination? It is clear that it occurs somewhere around December 22. One date is the start of the polar night before December 22, and the other is the end of the polar night after December 22. The middle of the polar night falls on December 22.
3) Now let’s calculate the change in the Sun’s declination from this date to December 22.
4) How many days will it take for the Sun’s declination to change by this amount near the solstice? During the 30 days near December 22, the Sun’s declination changes at a rate of 0.1 degrees per day. During this time, its declination will change by exactly 3 degrees. In our case, the change in declination is less. Therefore, to determine the number of days that have passed from the date of interest to December 22, we can divide the total change in declination by the rate of change. N d = 1.55 / 0.1 = 15.5 days. Thus, the polar night in Murmansk began 15.5 days before December 22 (December 6), and ended 15.5 days after December 22 (January 6). The total duration of the polar night in Murmansk was 31 days.
28. On what date does the Sun reach its zenith in Antananarivo, Madagascar Island?
Solution: It is well known that the height of the luminary during its upper culmination can be determined using formula (4). When the Sun is at the zenith, its height should be 90 degrees, so on the desired day . The Sun’s declination is equal to this value on two dates near December 22. The difference is 30 days, during which the Sun’s declination changes by 0.1 degrees per day, resulting in a total change of 3 degrees. The remaining 2.4 degrees are covered by the Sun traveling at a rate of 0.3 degrees per day. Therefore, the Sun culminates at the zenith in Antanarivo 38 days (Nov. 14) before Dec. 22 and 38 days (Jan. 29) after Dec. 22.

Information about the Northern Tropic.
This particular date and designation are not a mere coincidence. June 22 marks the occurrence of the summer solstice. On this particular day within the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun reaches its utmost northerly latitude, enabling it to rise to its highest point in the sky. At noon, the angle at which the sun’s rays meet the Earth’s surface in the Northern Hemisphere attains its maximum value. It is precisely due to this notable fact that the parallel is known as the Northern Tropic.
Which countries does the Northern Tropic intersect?

June 22 marks the summer solstice, which is the day when the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is farthest from the Sun. During this time, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, resulting in a phenomenon called the zenith sun. The zenith sun casts shadows directly downwards, causing objects to have no shadows on the ground, indicating that the sun is at its highest point in its orbit.
This event occurs annually, but only at specific latitudes. It is worth noting that the sun does not illuminate all parts of the earth equally throughout the year. While the zenith sun can be observed twice a year at the equator during the equinoxes, other latitudes experience different phenomena.
It is important to consider that as the latitude where we look increases, the angle at which we see the sun becomes more oblique, so we need to move closer to the equator in order to see the zenith. It’s also worth noting that seasonal variations play a significant role in observing the sun’s zenith on Earth. However, at which specific latitude can we witness this remarkable phenomenon on the summer solstice?
Determining the latitude at which the sun will be directly overhead on June 22nd
To determine the latitude at which the sun will be directly overhead on June 22nd, it is important to understand that the zenith point refers to the position on the celestial sphere that is vertically above the observer. Additionally, it is essential to remember that the sun is directly overhead when its position on the celestial sphere aligns exactly with the observer’s head.
To determine the latitude at which the sun will be at its zenith on June 22nd, one can utilize coordinate data. By knowing the latitude and longitude of the observation location, it becomes possible to calculate the maximum height of the sun above the horizon, which corresponds to the latitude angle of the observation location.
However, if you want to find out the latitude at which the sun will be directly overhead on June 22nd, you can also refer to the solar Declination and altitude tables to calculate these values for that specific date. All you have to do is select values close to 90° for altitude and 0° for Declination – this will give you the latitude where the sun will be at its zenith on June 22nd.
Therefore, by determining the latitude and longitude of the observer, or by using the tables of solar Declination and altitude, it becomes effortless to identify the parallel where the sun will be directly overhead on June 22nd.
