Question

Complement of the Solar Altitude angle is __________.

• A. Zenith angle
• B. Azimuth angle
• C. Hour angle
• D. Profile angle

Hint:

The Zenith angle is complementary to the Solar Altitude angle. The Solar Altitude angle is measured from the horizontal, while the Zenith angle is measured from the vertical.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Solar Altitude angle is the angle between the sun and the horizontal plane. The complement of the Solar Altitude angle is the Zenith angle, which is the angle between the sun and the vertical axis (zenith). Therefore, the complement of the Solar Altitude angle is known as the Zenith angle. Thus, the correct answer is (A) Zenith angle.
