Geography For locations in the United States, the relationship between the latitude l and the greatest angle of elevation a of the sun at noon on the first day of summer is a = 90° - l + 23.5°. Find the latitude of your town. Then determine the greatest angle of elevation of the sun for your town on the first day of summer.
