Answer:


S = 90 - L + D

Step-by-step explanation:

The sun's altitude at noon on a location can be given by the following formula:


S = 90 - L + D

In which S is the sun's altitude, L is the latitude of the the location and D is the declination of the sun. The declination is related to the period of the year(summer, winter, etc).
