angle between Sun and equatorial plane
The solar declination angle describes the angular position of the Sun relative to Earth’s equatorial plane. It varies predictably throughout the year due to Earth’s axial tilt. This angle determines the apparent height of the Sun and the length of daylight at a given latitude. It is a standard astronomical variable used in photoperiod calculations.
