विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

Concept & Reasoning

Solar declination δ is the angular position of the Sun north or south of the celestial equator. Over a year it varies approximately between +23.45° and −23.45° due to Earth's axial tilt. Around 21 June it is at its positive maximum.

How to Solve It in the Exam

June solstice +23.5°, December solstice −23.5°.

Important Exam Point

Check hemisphere/sign convention if a problem specifies location/date differently.

Quick Trick

June solstice +23.5°, December solstice −23.5°.

Common Mistake

Using 0°—that is the equinox value.
