15. what is the solar altitude on the 4th of july in washington, d. c., at latitude 39"n? a.22.7 b.73.7 c.23.5 d.51° e.90° 16. through the whole year, the sun's declination migrates through a total of a. 23.5° b.30° с.470 d.66.5° e. 133

answer 15  correct option is b. 73.7°

answer 16 correct option is с. 47°

Explanation:

we know that on 4th july Northen hemisphere have summer and Washington, D.C also in Northen hemisphere

and sun present at 23.5° latitude

so latitude of sun is calculate as given figure below

= 90° - ( 39° - 23.5° )

= 74.5°

so correct option is b.73.7

this difference if because we take latitude 23.5°  that is approx on 24 july

but july 4 latitude will be some low

and

we know during summer declination angle is + 23.5 in N.H.

and during winder declination angle is - 23.5 in N.H.

and at spring and autumn sun is at equator

the declination angle change is

declination angle change = 27.5 + 27.5 = 47°

beaches, climate, and waters

it is very hard for the climatologists to precisely predict how will the global temperatures be changing so there's lots of models, some of which differ significantly, this is due to multiple factors, and probably the most important is the human activity.

humans have been a key factor in climate change around the globe since the start of the industrial revolution, and in the past few decades the consequences are becoming more obvious. there's lots of emission of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as changing the environment on the surface itself, so it's really hard to predict how will that go in the future because there's some countries that are reducing the damage and are going towards green energy, while others are stubbornly continuing with pollution and damages to the environment.
