Question

What is the highest angle the sun would reach in London UK through a complete year? And what is the lowest angle?

Answer

Olivia, At the summer solstice in June, the sun reaches an angle of 61.9 degrees at solar noon, in London. That's as high as it ever gets. At the winter solstice in December, it reaches its lowest angle, of 15.1 degrees.

Go to this website, and look (toward the right) for the "solar noon" column of figures. You can change the month setting to see June.
